The first flashmob parade “Peace as the Goal. Culture as the Means. Force for Peace”

The National Committee of the Interkultura Caravan presented the concept “Innovative solutions to acute issues through culture”: flashmobs started and ended at the sound of a gong, and a “guide” led journalists from one to the next. Among the artmobs was “Should Knights Come Back to Life?” at the Main Post Office entrance: warriors of different eras in armour fighting in slow motion.

The archive keeps the announcement, programme and poster. A bagnet.org report from the same day confirms that the parade took place.

The organization later described the first parade like this: thirty flashmobs, fifteen on each side of Khreshchatyk, seventeen cameras, and closing flashmobs for children in which sweets were showered from home-made “mortars”. After that the format became the Caravan’s regular street format.
