The WE Festival 2017
The WE Festival in collaboration with PILZKISTE & TROMPE L'OEIL proudly present to you the motto of WE FEST FRIDAY: Peace Love Unity & Having fun.
The motto for a culture founded in the South Bronx in the 70's, nowadays known as what we call HIP HOP. On May 19 we'll fulfill your deepest HIP HOP expectations combining the four elements:
Breakdance, Graffiti, MC'ing & Turntablism.
Throughout documentaries, interactive activities, workshops, and live performances we'll guide you through the history of this beautiful culture, and show you a side of the story which should never be forgotten.
