Talented female artists such as Foxy and CHY brought additional diversity to the festival with their unique styles. Local artists such as Skore76 and Chekone showed their art alongside the international greats in Wilhelmshaven. Accompanied by four DJs, the festival offered a comprehensive cultural experience with an impressive variety of graffiti artworks.
The program was rounded off by an open Sunday and a fashion exhibition on the 1st floor of the NordseePassage.
