Nga Ching Ko  Liina LemberARTSTHREAD member Liina Lember (Royal College of Art 2021 graduate) will use the scholarship to design an interactive installation and brochure that explore the issue of light pollution. Lemebr explains: 'Light pollution is an overlooked and omnipresent global problem that affects mental health, circadian cycles and ecosystems.'  Welmoed BoschARTSTHREAD member Welmoed Bosch (Willem de Kooning Academy alumna 2020) aims to develop a method to develop the diversity of different people through patterns. By developing an alternative way of patternmaking, Bosch hopes to 'show that techniques are not neutral but have ideals designed into them. Also, I want people to see the beautiful anatomical details that clothing negates.' While at Pforzheim, Bosch wants to combine this way of patternmaking with suit tailoring. Nga Ching Ko (Sheffield Hallam University) examines the challenges of language in intercultural communication through jewellery design. Ko draws on her own experience of studying in Germany as a native of Hong Kong and the way compliments and negative critiques affected her. While at Pforzheim she wants to make her own interpretations of compliments and cultural differences tangible through jewellery design and will work with various materials such as metal and textiles.

Three creatives have been selected for the Designers in Residence 2022 scholarship at the University of Applied Sciences Pforzheim.
The international scholarship program, now in its seventh edition gives emerging designers the opportunity to develop a project for three months from April to June 2022. The designers will be given free accommodation, a monthly grant and access to the facilities at the Faculty of Design of the University of Applied Sciences Pforzheim. Their final pieces will then be presented in an exhibition at the EMMA - Creative Centre and the Design Center Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart. This year's Designers in Residence scholarships were presented to the finalists after a jury selected them from over 220 applications from 55 countries.
