The Mexican and Arnhem artist collectives Cráter Invertido and Motel Spatie – both organizations that strive for social impact – literally set Arnhem on fire! In the Presikhaaf neighborhood, where Cráter Invertido stayed for a month at Motel Spatie, they handed out packages with which you could make your own campfire. In such a ‘campfire package’ you would find wood, matches and a manifesto. They also organized storytelling workshops, because a campfire naturally includes stories.

Create a campfire together with others, listen to each other's stories, and share your own story. A campfire is a place to meet, wherever you are. Making a fire is a universal act, symbolizing ritual, organizing, participating, communication, and tradition.

Cráter Invertido and Motel Spatie wanted to put an end to the association that the city has with fire – the fatal, the burning, the anarchist rebellion – and reintroduce fire into Arnhem city life. Fire and smoke are not always dangerous; smoke signals are one of the oldest forms of communication, only this primitive method has had to make way for buildings, billboards and airplanes. Let's go back to our roots, share legends and welcome the summer together.
