HCI Showcase: What Hamburg Knows
Five people from Hamburg’s communities spent eight months on problems most of the city doesn’t see. On 4 November, they show you what they found and what they’re building.
Anissa Rached supports migrant mothers navigating isolation and work.
Iveta Gogava connects migrants to professional and civic life in Hamburg.
Izmir Henry builds community for Spanish-speaking women in Germany.
Keziah-Naomi Tsagli puts Black role models into children’s books.
Natascha Djordjevic breaks the silence around sexual harassment.
What you’ll take away
Hamburg, up close. 58 interviews, 140 people mapped, 3 pilots. These are real issues, named by the people living them, and many of them also show up in your team, your neighbourhood, or another city.
How the incubator works. How we designed it, what worked, and what we’d change. Everyone who registers gets our 1-page HCI design and learnings, so you don’t have to start from zero.
Time with each founder. Breakout rooms after the talks. Ask questions, compare notes, and find where your work meets theirs.
