„Homegrown", „brand own construction", so to speak, is the topic of this year's OSTRALE. Into worldwide understandable English, a quality which conjures in Germany, the land of tinkerers and do-it-yourselfers, has an especially good reputation. Particularly as in the east of Germany where many still remember how important it was in the economy of scarcity before 1989 to build a little bit independently, to grow and to think up. Long-lasting and original originated and still originates today. The home-made, home-grown in the own garden, arisen from the own mind, is the alternate concept to the pre-punched, pre-thought, the worldwide identical and everywhere available. It is sturdy, maybe shows individual tracks of treatment and earns pride of creativity – even if it does not fit completely in the norm.
