DAYS OF DIGITAL FREEDOM

The Event

The Days of Digital Freedom is an event organized from the Chaos community and takes place for the fifth time in a row in Tübingen.

At the event, freaks, artists, utopians, and simply curious people meet to learn from and with each other. We are all connected by the open exchange about creativity, beauty, our society, technology and its impact on us and the rapidly advancing climate catastrophe.

The Days of Digital Freedom exist to realize this utopia. If you share our values and ethics and want to help, you are cordially invited.
