From May 23-25, 2015, Detroit’s Hart Plaza hosted the annual Movement Festival, steadily defining itself as America’s key techno showcase and drawing fans from across the globe. Movement is a celebration of love, pride and hope that captures the resilient spirit of Detroit by championing the do-it-yourself attitude of turning a grassroots idea into a reality. Though it’s hard to ignore the city’s economic woes, it’s impossible to forget Detroit is the birthplace of techno.
