Loesje International
Berlin, Germany

Conquering the world with creativity and posters!

Loesje is an international free speech organisation. Its charter is to spread creativity, positive criticism, ideas, philosophical ponderings and thoughts on current events by way of short slogans on posters, signed by a fictional character, Loesje (a Dutch female name).

So in shortly saying a writer’s collective, a NGO, an international organisation, a creative network, a contagious idea – many titles, call it what you want!

Loesje International is not verified as a 501(c)3 organization.
