Dear all,
yesterday, Ayumi, Tilia and I made some compost tea bottles for the
performance / installation at HKW.
who ever wants to help fill them with compost and hand them out / trade
them for "compostable" thoughts, please meet us a little bit before the
panel on Thursday and performance on Friday.
I won't be able to come to the opening tomorrow (no babysitter / too
late for Tilia).
but look forward to the panel and performance later this week!
worm regards
Alex
