How to participate

The art theme 2016 is "Liberosis".

In short: "the desire to care less about things—to loosen your grip on your life, to stop glancing behind you every few steps, afraid that someone will snatch it from you before you reach the end zone—rather to hold your life loosely and playfully, like a volleyball, keeping it in the air, with only quick fleeting interventions, bouncing freely in the hands of trusted friends, always in play.".

This is an event entirely created by its' participants. It’s your contribution that makes "Spark Liberosis" shine! Please note: every participant needs to buy a ticket, includings artists, performers, DJs, organisers and volunteers - so do not forget to buy your ticket.
Volunteer!
To make this event happen, plenty of people are needed to set up stages, make the event safe, build stuff, transport material, make this website, coordinate everyone involved and making it fun and pleasant while doing so. This is an entirely volunteer-driven event – volunteer and make a difference!

Make a Theme Camp
Every tent is a theme camp: the theme is "you sleep in here!" But you can go beyond the bare necessity and build an elaborate camp that not only caters to your own needs but provides something to the community. Decorate your camp - you just added beauty to the event. Offer food or a cup of tea - you just turned neighbours into friends. Even the smallest contribution that you offer in your camp changes the atmosphere. We are no longer an event, we are a village. If you have a dream for a camp: build it! We love to see bars opening, cafes coming to life, pirate ships mooring, circus tents popping up. In every case: read the prepare page to learn the principles you need to follow. We are a community and by talking things get a lot easier and projects get realized. If you plan a theme camp: get in touch with the placement team to get a spot, the build team to share resources, transport team to get help transporting it. If you want to collaborate to art or decoration, contact the art team. If you are open for performers, tell it to the performance teams so that they can tell this to people who are interested to perform. Talk to the communication team to let them tell all participants about your cunning plans. Don't expect anyone else to run your project for you, but expect that everyone will talk with you and connect you with the right people.
