SUMMARY:WDC Frankfurt RheinMain 2026: Module Festival
DESCRIPTION:Module is an open-air festival featuring selected concerts\, DJ sets\, audiovisual performances\, engaging talks\, and workshops. It transforms the Kulturcampus Frankfurt into a weekend full of sound\, design\, and discourse around pop culture. \nUnder the theme Design for Democracy\, the Module asks how design and culture can contribute to inclusive\, vibrant and accessible public spaces for all. Music\, visual art and discussion enter into a creative dialogue\, making social issues tangible and experiential. \nThe Kulturcampus Frankfurt provides the ideal setting. As a site in transition\, developed collaboratively with residents\, cultural practitioners and initiatives\, it represents an open city where encounter\, experimentation and co-creation are possible. \nThe programme features performances\, talks\, workshops and a wide range of participatory formats. At its heart is a stage programme with musicians and AV artists\, whose new works light up the surrounding buildings in the evenings as audiovisual projections. This is complemented by a temporary radio station\, curated daily by different communities and broadcast in collaboration with international online radio stations. \nAdmission to the festival is free for everyone. \nLearn more: https://wdc2026.org/en/constellations/module-festival \nWDO Member: WDC Frankfurt RheinMain 2026
