monocon#1

June 28–July 1, 2018
Schloss Zeillern, Lower Austria

monochrom was 25, so we celebrated with four days of art, discussion and workshops with/by/for monochrom and its friends. We met at Schloss Hotel Zeillern from June 28 to July 1, 2018. Since about half of the participants were native English speakers, the entire event was held in English.
