The network IFM - Initiatives for Material Cycles released a dog for adoption! The Moondog from the performative concert of the same name spent two years on stages and four years in temporary storages of Materialverwaltung on Tour in the Ruhr area. Moondog "Krümel" luckily found a new home until 22.7.22. (More soon!)
From July 22 - 24, 2022, the third network meeting of the IFM took place at documenta fifteen to prepare an association for the initiatives for material cycles.
