The Department of Transformation, founded and directed by Prem Krishnamurthy, explores how art and design can be agents of transformation for individuals, communities, and institutions. Its website was designed and created by MENSCHMASCHINE Studio (Benedikt Rottstegge & Stella Friedenberger) and is set in Bryce Wilner’s version of Akzidenz Grotesk named Standard as well as HAL Timezone, published by HAL Typefaces.
From the website’s About page:
What tools are needed for individual, collective, and structural transformation? How can the idea of the artist become more porous and interdependent? Where can we gather together to change and grow?
Department of Transformation (D🌍T) is an artist-organized group that prototypes new formats for togetherness and mutual learning. Through workshops, events, publications, and consulting (+ karaoke!), D🌏T supports individuals, communities, and institutions in their own processes of change. D🌎T is transforming art & design in order to transform the world.
