15 Week Beans is a collective publishing experiment by students of Hochschule Rhein-Waal in Kamp-Lintfort. Growing out of two editions of the 15‑week editorial design course, students developed independent publications, each year rooted in one theme: time or identity.
A bean is a metaphor for creative practice. An idea, like a bean in soil, begins fragile and undefined. Through the practice of editorial design, these young designers developed their ideas and brought them into print.
In a time of uncertainty, their work asks what shapes identity, addressing questions of womanhood, cultural belonging, and the flux of adolescence. Their work also explores how time feels different now: the anxiety of never having enough time, the hours we lost to screens, and how to understand change over time.
