PICNIC IN WHITE
Sophistication is probably the last thing to think of in relation to abandoned, neglected
and simply isolated public spaces. Yet this is exactly what the festival has been trying to
achieve over the past ten years: to socialize these "unsophisticated" places and buildings,
in lending an aesthetic dimension to their existence. Since sophistication is a matter of
individual disposition, personal choice and social attitude rather than a sign of social
status or group affiliation.
Support us in the search for new forms of public and artistic presence – dress up all in
white and join us at 14.30 in the park!
With the special participation of Michelle Appelros, cello

From afro to techno, and a lot more in between.
Because “Africa is mother of beat, and beat is tempo“. May your hearts beat like a water drum on this tempo and steps groove like the sound of ocean waves… on an acid trip around tribal rhythms, travelling from Senegal, Ghana, Nigeria, Congo, Zimbabwe to Ethiopia and Egypt, cruising on electronic sounds of lights and shadows, sounds of water (waves, giant waterfalls and heavy rain), exploring divinity in cosmic rhythmic and psychedelic vibration…^*^

We invite you on a sound journey studying the aesthetics of interrelation between native African rhythms, Detroit techno and Chicago house music, as well as questioning the impact of technological evolution on native culture and art…^*^

During Water Tower Art Fest (WTAF) in Sofia, Bulgaria Kim Dotty Hachmann and her son Neo are going to offer a workshop for children in the field of video and performing arts.
