Festival 2013

Here we are - it's the 5th time that Recycled Creativity Festival welcomes craftivists and environmentalists, artists and activists, friends and supporters to come together and celebrate sustainable life practices. We are happy to see every one of you - musicians, artists, workshop facilitators, vo:kü masters, cake bakers, graphic designers, massage and yoga experts, writers and bike riders, helpful hands and free minds, as well as sewing experts and trashion queens and kings! Recycled Creativity is an alternative that offers us a participative and interactive experience, starting with its organisation all the way to partying - the festival is organized by a group of friends, but carried through by volunteers and people who support such ideas as reducing waste and DIY. Like every year, we wouldn't be here without the support and care of Wagenburg Löhmuehle's people, Loesje e. V.'s crew, Kulturlabor Trial & Error e. V.'s forces as well as the webmaster elektrischerwalfisch and our lovely hostess Niti Dingra. Thank You also to our everlasting volunteer power, that brings us loads of positive energy! Happy every day, dear recycling friends, but this time - let's celebrate the 5th birthday together!
