Slum Carnival during 24H Oost

Saturday March 23 from 12:00 to 20:00

An 8-hour flurry of activity in our temporary city, the Freezing Favela. With tours, music, great food and workshops. Learn how to distill vodka and grow your own veggies, make fresh pasta, construct bricks from old newspapers, make jewelry and jump ropes, or help build the Favela Sauna and the Tostifabriek. Between running around there will be plenty of time to relax and enjoy a drink or two. Entrance: a valid membership. If you aren't a member yet, become one now. Visit our website for details about the program.

Freezing Favela

Freezing Favela is a temporary city within Mediamatic Fabriek. Designers, cooks and other makers have been given the possibility to claim a part of the big industrial hall as their own. They work on their projects autonomously, but like in any other community, materials, space and functions have to be shared. Favela citizens are making tosti's from scratch, paper from cow shit, furniture from cardboard, and food from our very own aquaponics farm. And everyone is welcome to contribute. Build this city with us. We're open every Wednesday and Sunday between 2pm and 5pm.
