Loopworkshop Brandenburg
CRE8 gave a workshop in a German Highschool north of Berlin in Treuenbietzen that just started a partnership with another school in Ethopia. The workshop was a successful and inspiring collaboration with VIVA LA HUMANIDAD and Axl Makana, the singer of the German Band Mutabor and CRE8 artist Ole Ukena.
CRE8 entered the already flowing process of cultural exchange by offering ways in how to establish a real crative exchange with the kids in Germany and Afrika. The idea is to create a song together and use elements of sounds to inspire each other in creating a collaborative piece of music. After exploring the idea of collaborative artworks through the medium of drawing the kids learned about the basics of “live-looping”, a way to sample your own voice, repeat it and create layer by layer an entire song. CRE8 is very happy about the collaboration with VIVA LA HUMANIDAD and suggests checking out their homepage to learn more about the afrikan partnerschool in Ethopia which will be joining the creative process as soon as our workshops continue there.
Looping is a lot of fun.

2nd Art Exhibition at Ramana´s Garden / Rishikesh, India
For two years running, CRE8 has hosted an art exhibition at Ramana’s Garden Orphanage in Rishikesh, India. The event was similarly staged each year. In both years, interactive art stations, especially those which featured play between kids and guests, were the primary highlight. Ramana’s wholesome tasty organic food, musical, theater, and dance performances, and the displayed kids’ and professional artwork also shone brightly.
The primary motivation behind the events was to raise awareness and funds for the orphanage, in a fun way. Guest musicians joined in a musical jam session. Other visitors enjoyed a theater production about saving the Ganges River performed and collaboratively written by the kids. Intergalactic aliens showed up in all shapes and sizes (on paper!), The Magic Tree danced in the wind, and our simple but powerful Ping Pong concept was on full display.
Activity at the café was record-setting (2010 breaking the record set in 2009) and artpieces and photographs were sold. Guests came out in droves and left with broad grins and full bellies. And best of all, the kids’ proud faces most readily gave away that the exhibitions were successful. Because of the great success, we plan to make the exhibition an annual tradition.
