by and with Markus Zimmermann, amateur player and artist

Are you struggling with the world situation? Or the spring? Easter is still in your bones? You’re not in the mood or your body is feeling a bit rubbish?
Then come along and let off steam with us: We’ll play table tennis on an unusual table tennis table and with lovingly designed bats – all made from leftover materials.
We don’t play against each other, but with each other against absurd circumstances. Who can make the best rally? Who can hit the most pretentious serve? Who has the most bizarre technique? Come and play. The function follows the form and the winner doesn’t take it all.

with Dana Giesecke (FuturZwei) and Carina Bischoff (Fashion Revolution)

Dana Gieseke and Carina Bischoff talk about the consequences of the fast fashion industry and the need for sustainable clothing consumption. What responsibility do fashion companies bear, but also we as consumers? And what innovative approaches can help to keep clothes in circulation for longer? The experts will shed light on alternative solutions such as the circular economy, second-hand models and new design strategies that conserve resources and promote social justice. Visitors can expect an inspiring discussion about sustainable fashion practices and concrete options for action for a fairer textile industry.
