CoWeb gets produced once a year during the City of Women festival. Every day of the festival, the events are documented online; in various languages, critical thoughts are formed about the events, discussions with festival guests take place, and the audience is asked about their opinions. Coweb represents the idea of the creation of DIY do-it-yourself web content and presents an opposition to mass media while at the same time serving as a form of critique of their treatment of culture.
