13/03/24 – Presentation of the beer at the Schloss Eggenberg private brewery

Åndas’ advertising campaign takes a nuanced approach that reflects the beer’s dual identity – rooted in tradition yet global. The posters show people of African descent embodying different global cultures. “ÅNDAS” is more than a beer concept; it is a visual and sensory statement about the beauty and importance of diversity, which is reflected in its unique taste that combines local heritage with global flavours.

Playing with perceptions
Heiner Goebbels
 
“His melodic and rhythmic flair form a strong foundation on which emotionality, attitude and humanity are expressed in equal measure. He has constantly challenged the audience’s perception. “*
 
The work of the internationally renowned and multi-award-winning composer and theatre maker Heiner Goebbels is characterised by his play with perceptions. The artist creates spaces for the imagination with challenging aesthetics that can take the audience’s breath away or be as harsh and gloomy as a landscape with open-cast lignite mining. He finds audiences all over the world who are happy to accept this challenge and who, according to Goebbels himself, should ideally be “curious and very open-minded”. Because they will experience something with all their senses, something unheard of, something new and therefore strange. The artistic border crosser’s search for the unknown and unnoticed is accompanied by social commitment and political awareness.

Using “past, present, future” as a framework to study a material (salt), to experiment between analysis, workshop and experience.
