Welcome to open:fora - the neighbourhood open culture street meet!

Join special guests working for open cultures across five continents and celebrate our freedoms to act, share culture and make our voices heard. open:fora invites our neighbours, friends, students, activists and all those interested in creating resonant open cultures, technologies and ecologies.

Hosted by r0g_agency for open culture and critical transformation gGmbH and Open Source Ecology Germany e.V., open:fora invites you to a series of workshops, cafes and cocktails! Engage with STEAM (Science Tech Engineering Art Math), #ASKotec (Access to Skills and Knowledge – open tech emergency case), Self-Similarity (symbiotic synthesisers), open:fora Feminist Cafè - the Personal is Political, MMN - Migrant Media Networks, AfricaOSH (Africa Open Science & Hardware), #defyhatenow, AfricArXiv, Heterotopia - artistic and intellectual methods for cultural spaces, an Open Source Hardware Meetup, questions about an Open City X Smart City and Art as Protest ... culminating in the annual r0g_agency meet 'n greet!
