Chris Bangle's "Big Benches," now a symbol of the Langhe, gave rise to the BIG BENCH COMMUNITY PROJECT (BBCP) initiative, which aims to support local businesses, tourism, and crafts in the towns where these scale installations are located. BBCP is a non-profit initiative of the American designer and his wife Catherine, residents of Clavesana since 2009, with the goal of uniting the creativity of the design team at Chris Bangle Associates Srl with the artisans of this area of Piedmont. The BBCP's activities—which are strictly for-profit—include both technical support for those wishing to build official Big Benches and collaboration with prominent local artisans to create products inspired by them that can make a small contribution to the local economy and tourism, in keeping with the positive spirit that the Big Benches bring to this area. A portion of the sales proceeds, as well as donations from those who build a new bench, will be forwarded by the BIG BENCH COMMUNITY PROJECT to the participating communities, benefiting the local community. A first result of this initiative is the collaboration with Carrus master goldsmith Ugo Bracco, who recreated the eight existing benches in miniature form as pendants made of 925 silver.

The Izegem street art artist (°1992) created a fantastic masterpiece here. About this work she writes herself: "The name ‘droogbroodstraat’ comes from the 1800s, the soil was completely infertile and nothing could be grown on it, poverty. That is why sheep were placed there… sheep, because cows and horses were for the richer people. Sheep were good for milk and wool, in the 1960s new techniques were developed to fertilize the soil and so the heathland agriculture disappeared and so did the shepherd and his heathland sheep … Hence the reference to the shepherds. Before I started designing I spoke to a very old lady from the street who has lived there all her life. About the war and how the Germans took over certain places to live. The Germans communicated from the Droogbroodstraat. The airport a little further away provided a connection and on the very last night of the war hundreds of soldiers slept on the farmer's land, just on the ground… 1940-1945, crazy stories! The television tower, placed in the year 1973 with a height of 305 meters, the pride of Egem, which you can see from miles away, where I sometimes think 'finally, almost home', could be seen from the neighbors' position just before the building was there. This one certainly could not be missing from the picture!" Source: https://streetartcities.com/markers/97fd1778-0068-4291-808f-b6011cb9039a Djoels currently has a tattoo shop in Egem.

In front of the cemetery there are a series of information boards about the war history of Hooglede in general and this German cemetery in particular. To the left of the cemetery, in the parking lot, there is a QR code that leads you to the fictional nurse Ida. From the perspective of a care provider, she tells you a historically substantiated story about the course of the war and the misery she experienced. You can choose between a version with or without augmented reality. For this you only need to download the free app 'Een laatste groet' (from the App Store or Google Play Store).
