FabXchange

Proposed by:
Andreas Kopp (Erfindergarden / Munich Tool Library)

Format:
Pop-up Exchange / 60 Minutes
Brno and Prague Edition – Open Invitation

Short Description:
Born at Fab23 Bali as the Sweet Exchange, now reborn as FabXchange – a pop-up trading zone for snacks, stickers, coffee, crafts, and cultural quirks. Come with one thing, leave with ten. No rules. Just vibes.

Full Description:
It all started at Fab23 Bali: someone brought armenien chocolate, someone else had Knoppers and Mozart balls, and suddenly we were swapping tastes, stories, and identities. That spontaneous moment became Sweet Exchange.
Now it’s time to upgrade.

FabXchange @ Fab25 is a playful, unofficial, and slightly chaotic social ritual of sharing.
Bring something from your lab, culture, city, kitchen, or imagination:

• Sweets, snacks, homemade brews

• Coffee rituals, tea ceremonies, grandma’s spice blend

• DIY stickers, patches, tools, kits, or tokens

• Tiny games, card decks, jokes, zines

• Dances, toasts, handshakes, memes

• Anything that sparks connection

You can trade, perform, gift, challenge, or collaborate. The goal: a FabLab-style exchange of joy, weirdness, and cultural surprise. Think zine fair meets flea market meets dance circle.

We just need a table, a corner, and curious minds.
