Egg painting during your lunch break!
Easter eggs have long symbolized new life. But beyond tradition, painted eggs have been used for centuries to tell stories, share messages, and offer protection. In Slavic and other cultures, egg-dyeing was a sacred, often secret ritual performed by women at night—creating powerful talismans for rebirth and resistance.
Inspired by Rosa Luxemburg’s tireless fight for freedom, equality, and solidarity, you’ll paint your own egg as a visual message, a symbol, or even a tiny protest.
What does your ideal world look like? What would you protect? Which of Rosa’s ideals speak to you most? Bring these thoughts to the table—and paint them.
Give Your Egg a Voice
After painting, your egg doesn’t have to stay with you. Place it somewhere meaningful in the city—turning it into a small but eye-catching public statement. Or pass it on to a friend, a colleague, or a stranger, along with a short message. A simple gesture can spark conversation and connection.
