Wear a mask and your face grows to fit it
Fearing ridicule, the soldier in George Orwell's “Shooting an Elephant” acts as his oversized mask—his role as an imperialist—dictates: he kills the peaceful grazing elephant for no reason. The inexorable sequence of events leading to this tragic end reveals his mask and the constraints it imposes on his actions.

Mycelium
In many places, a certain tiredness with the sustainability debate is noticeable. Many feel discouraged, powerless, or frustrated, which is why they prefer resignation to active engagement.
Mycelium addresses this issue and aims to spread optimism, inspiration, and a drive to take action.
How can I continue? How can I work with others to create a better world and live sustainably? At our festival, you will find a colorful bouquet of answers to these questions.
Networking, exchange, and empowerment—that's what Mycelium stands for!
An diverse selection of people and projects from the region will enliven the festival with workshops, studios, walks and tours, lectures, music, dance, and much more!
Discuss, experiment, create—that's what Mycelium stands for, too!
