Veronica Andres

Veronica Andres serves as Research Associate in Product Design at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design, where she teaches courses including Fundamentals of design theory, SOS — Content and Structure, and Drawing diary. Her professional network spans Weissensee Art Academy, HAWK Hildesheim, Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Hamburg University of Applied Sciences, and University of Bremen through specialized teaching and design collaborations.

Her educational foundation includes:

• Design studies at Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design
• Design studies at Hamburg University of Fine Arts (HFBK)
• Professional goldsmith training with international glasswork internships (Germany, Denmark, Turkey)

Andres pioneers socially engaged design through temporary public architectures, participatory installations, and critical exhibitions. Her practice confronts discrimination via spatial interventions like the University of Bremen's post-vandalism sanitary facility and the Room for Remembrance and Solidarity memorializing the Halle attack. She bridges material expertise (porcelain, glass, wood) with theoretical frameworks examining how legal spaces perpetuate exclusion, as demonstrated in her publication 'Law Discrimination Space'.

Her research demonstrates consistent institutional support through collaborations with universities and foundations like Hans Böckler Foundation (publisher of 'Hyttan' on glass industry structural change). Current projects focus on expanding design's role in remembrance culture through AKAKAF (Working Group on Acoustics and Antifascism), which she co-founded to address Nazi forced labor legacies.
