Participate and interact

Pixelache 2015: Living Spaces is primarily a festival for participation. The city is created by its inhabitants and the festival aims to reflect this with workshops, discussions, and other forms of interaction.

Helsinki Inside⋅Out

This year, Pixelache Festival experiments with the Camp Pixelache format of previous festivals, asking festival-goers to programme their own activities in their own spaces. This empowers the public in the creation of culture activities, showcases the ideas and talents already in the city, and challenges the boundary between public and private space.
