Für die Zürcher Tatort‑Folgen arbeitet das Team mit der Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHDK) zusammen. Dabei werden gezielt junge Kunstschaffende ausgewählt, deren Werke jeweils für zwei Folgen an den Wänden des Kommissariats zu sehen sind. Die Auswahl trifft das Tatort‑Team an der Jahresausstellung der ZHDK – entscheidend ist, dass die Werke zum Kommissariat passen.

In der heutigen Folge ist die Kunst der 26-jährigen Alicja Brzeska zu sehen.

🎬 Mimi Peneva and Nico Frei are the creative minds behind the winning design for the official poster of the 22nd Zurich Film Festival. The two ZHdK students stood out in a public vote with over 3,500 participants, beating two other finalists. In the video interview, they share what inspired their concept and how they approached the creative process.
The Zurich Film Festival and Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) have been closely connected since the very beginning – and since 2024, ZHdK students have been shaping the festival’s visual identity each year.

I went back to Toni Areal, where I graduated from with a Master‘s last year. Although the semester is just about to start I didn‘t go back to school but for a visit at the @museumgestaltung. Did you know that if you have a Student ID from ZHdK @zhdkcampus you can visit the museum for free?
There are currently four exhibitions on view one of them in the entry hall. The exhibition «Design für Alle» is only open for another month and I highly recommend checking it out since it brings light to a very important aspect of design: Inclusivity.
Happy start to the semester to all of the students and happy autumn to the rest of us who aren‘t going back to school 🍂🍂🍂

A few weeks ago I had the great pleasure to introduce the #20barschallenge at the ZHdK in Zurich. It will culminate in a few weeks with a real-live workshop with the students of my admired @michaseidenberg, and I can’t wait for it!
It was a great chance for me to reflect on the content that I have been making so far, and to also think about the next steps: how to expand it and communicate what makes it special. To be honest it’s already challenging to see the size of the list of cool pieces that many of you sent me, and still keep a balance between all the other activities I do simultaneously. But, that was exactly the point of the challenge! So I’m more than happy to keep improving my productivity and efficiency 🤓
Now on show: In her current Bachelor’s thesis “Shame”, Nadja Häfliger, a final-year Bachelor student in Interaction Design at the Zurich University of the Arts ZHdK, explores how shame can be transformed into pride.
🎬 Backstage statt Hörsaal: Studierende der ZHdK produzieren im Rahmen des ESC 2025 Inhalte für die digitalen Kanäle der SRG. Gemeinsam mit ihren Dozierenden haben sie den Unterricht in die Jakobshalle verlegt – und lernen dort, wie man Videos für Social Media umsetzt. 📲

🎬 Backstage au lieu de l’auditoire : dans le cadre de l’ESC 2025, des étudiant·e·s de la ZHdK créent du contenu pour les canaux numériques de la SSR. Accompagné·e·s de leurs enseignant·e·s, ils ont déplacé leurs cours à la Jakobshalle – pour y apprendre à produire des vidéos pour les réseaux sociaux. 📲

🎬 Attivi dietro le quinte invece che in aula: nell’ambito dell’ESC 2025, gli studenti della ZHdK producono contenuti per i canali digitali della SSR. Insieme ai loro docenti, hanno trasferito le lezioni alla Jakobshalle di Basilea– dove imparano a realizzare video per i social media. 📲

Die Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (ZHdK) ist eine der grössten Kunsthochschulen Europas. Bei der Umstellung auf das Studienmodell Major-Minor strich die Schule 34 Stellen. Betroffene werfen der Schulleitung vor, diese Kündigungen seien nicht sauber abgelaufen. Zwei von den Entlassenen erzählen. Nun äussert sich Karin Mairitsch, Rektorin der Hochschule, erstmals zu den Vorwürfen.
