Textile art meets local history
Participants tell their memories, wishes, and encounters around the lake in individual pennants. From many voices, a collection of perspectives emerges, which will be centrally presented during the festive parade. This not only creates a creative result but also a unique atmosphere among the audience of exchange, reflection, and joint creation.
