In a RAUSCH of sustainability and design, of diversity and inspiration, of art and transformation! ökoRAUSCH is a think tank, an idea pool, incubator and network. We think of sustainability and design as one, never as separate from one another.
We want a world with a future. A world full of beauty and fun, but also one with rhyme and reason. And we are doing something about it: Sustainability is our goal and creativity will get us there!
This year we are back – live and in living color: The ökoRAUSCH Festival for Design and Sustainability is on!
In light of the “corona period” we want to be clear that by using the word “Festival”, we do not mean we are planning on celebrating with 1,000 people at the same time. The heart of our Festival is the large exhibition with international exhibitors that is framed by a comprehensive programme. This will all take place with full consideration of all health and safety regulations applicable for the duration of the Festival.
We are very excited to be the guest at the Museum of Applied Art Cologne (MAKK) for a whole four weeks. So get out your calendar and pen us in:
28 August to 24 September – And the entry is free!
A unique line-up awaits that consists of exhibitors and contributors from the fields of the creative industries, culture, science and society! Let yourself be inspired, surprised and amazed. Discover, explore, and discuss with us about a world of tomorrow that we all want to live in.
Don’t miss out on anything – follow us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
We can’t wait to see you there!
What’s all the RAUSCH about?
The German words “Rausch” or “Rauschen” can mean different things. ‘’Rausch’’ is a state of intoxication, ecstasy or trance; “Rauschen” is the sound of trees rustling in the wind or waves hitting the shore but it also describes irritating background noise. The RAUSCH in ökoRAUSCH stands for a mixture of all these. For us it means breaking with the “norm” and being in a flow of creativity, new experiences and optimism. We’re ecstatic about the prospect of how sustainability, design, art and action can come together to create a brighter future that’s also healthy for us and our planet. That said, we invite you to be irritated, to challenge your perspective, but most of all to join us in a state of positive, sustainable activism that is excited about the futures we can create! Now that you know: come RAUSCH with us!
