About Us

Wonderland considers itself to be an open network, where information and know-how is shared and built upon for practical use. 

We see ourselves as an amalgamation of both a core network, defined by the ‘active teams,’ and a larger, loose network in which exchange takes place.  Wonderland was initially established as a bottom up project connecting young architects.

The European network consists of teams and partners from most European countries. The specific aim of the Non-Profit Organisation is the enabling of transnational collaborative projects and working beyond existing professional and cultural borders.

Wonderland is a platform of exchange for upcoming architects, urbanists, designers, photographers, filmmakers, researchers and many more across Europe, who deal with space and its distribution and design. 

The association has projects it’s developed as part of its network, as well as various Erasmus and EU projects it’s actively engaged in, where it shares it’s know-how and trans-disciplinary approach to help projects with issues such as participation, community involvement, storytelling and engagement through various formats, publications and films.

The members of the association also initiate researches. The results are shared with the public through publications, exhibitions, symposia and similar. The organization also provides support or participates in transnational collaborations, as well as promotes the activities of wonderland teams through digital media, exhibitions and on-site collaborations.

Moka Sheung Yan is an interdisciplinary artist with a background in fine arts, sculpture, and visual storytelling. She studied at the London College of Arts and the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Centering on themes of identity, transformation, and social perception, her artistic research investigates questions of social visibility, vulnerability, and the fragmented self—probing how cultural norms and societal structures shape personal and collective identity.

Vienna-based media artist and social designer Danny Nedkova (b. 1995) employs a diverse range of media—including photography, film, text, and installation—to explore themes of social significance. With a background in design and photography, Danny blends her perspective as a social designer with the visual sensibility of a photographer. Her design practice focuses on speculative, process-based approaches, with storytelling and communication as foundational pillars.

Emily is currently pursuing her master’s in architecture in Vienna, Austria. In addition to her studies, she is especially interested in literature, philosophy and the visual arts and is looking for ways to combine these interests with her own work.
