Beyond the quarter...
I want to go to the island, I cross the water and turn four times a quarter-turn. A whole circle around. Everywhere is horizon.
Sand sticks to the ink roller, wind crumples the sheets of paper, printing blocks dry crookedly, copies grow wild, and words go roaming. I want out, with a firm handshake!
SPEICHER_Leute e.V. invites you to take up quarters on the island of Hiddensee in its anniversary year 25 years of Speicher occupation from August 26 to September 2, 2025 — in the school in Vitte with sleeping mat and sleeping bag — and to broaden the horizons of the print festival.
We're very pleased that all festival spots are booked. Feel free to contact us for inquiries.
