Thinking and talking about multiculturalism is an important way to create an open and receptive society where different cultures are respected and integrated. We have produced a colourful, active program and are looking forward to your participation. It would be nice, if you bring along some traditional food / drinks to pimp up our picnic – for the cultural entertainment we have everything arranged.

Marco Casagrande is an architect from Finland. I called him a an anarchitect mixing anarchy and architecture, since I feel his work REAL. Including ideas of urban acupuncture his work is soft and violent at the same time – something which has to be beautiful because of its honest trueness.
