Mikser Festival 2024. / Microtactis

“Microtactics,” served as a vibrant tapestry woven from innovative ideas, sustainable practices, and collaborative endeavors. This annual event was not merely a showcase; it is a call to action for all participants to engage with pressing contemporary challenges while celebrating creativity and community. By exploring the program units—from Next Gen Design to Urban Lab, European policies, youth topics, and experimental projects like Black Box and Ghost Project, playing back and forth from cutting-edge innovation to looking for healthy and sustainable ways from the past—we affirm our commitment to shaping a better future – By engaging with cutting-edge tools and methodologies, we can create spaces, communities, and products that serve to minimize harm and actively enhance our ecological and social systems. This year’s festival program urged us to rethink our environments, demonstrating how conscious design can create healthier, more sustainable cities. Through workshops and installations, we encouraged attendees to adopt these principles and apply them in their communities, whether it was a second-hand clothes fashion show, sharing urban practices, or getting our hands a bit dirty diving into the universe of permaculture.
