A music, nature, food and sauna gathering in the Nieuw-West countryside including some lectures, tours across the area & the food forest and intimate performances! Musicians were invited to interact with the nature around them, the surroundings, the present sounds. Most musicians play acoustically and unamplified.

Outer Space is an interdisciplinary festival, where themes as nature, music, culture and food (production) are connecting factors for and by people from various affiliated communities. It is an experience of symmathesy as Nora Bateson calls it. The ‘learning together’ of people, nature and culture, in a space of mutual dependence.

The name “Outer Space” indicates leaving the beaten path, creating new space for your senses, and experiencing the world in a different way. It is an invitation to discover the richness of a new environment. The message that is lying underneath is that we must find new paths towards a future that is about balance, rather than endless growth.

Organised by Roots & Remedies / Voedselpark Amsterdam / Slow Food Amsterdam / Amped / Grounded Community / Greenius and Space is the Place

Also participating are MijnStadstuin, Het Natuurtalent, Voedselbos Amsterdam, Saunakaravaan, Food Council MRA, De Sering & Oedipus.
