Hoffnung 3000 – Experimenting with an Anonymous Community

Hoffnung 3000.

Hoffnung 3000 is a festival that asks how a festival would behave, if it organised itself - or, rather, if 30 anonymous participants would curate a festival, communicating with one another only through animal avatars. Hoffnung 3000 took place in Berlin on 24th-26th August, and Shanti Suki Osman went along to see what the animals came up with.
