Rave Against the G8 - Resistance Art Festival TAZ

the only good system... | 31.03.2007 09:17 | G8 Germany 2007 | Culture | Free Spaces | Globalisation

Resistance Art Festival will be kicking off alongside the 2007 G8 protests...
Come one, come all...

See Free4alternatives:  http://www.free4alter.org

Free4alternatives is an activists group coming from the Free Spaces scene (Free Party, Teknival, Squat, Trailer site, TAZ,...) fighting against liberty deprivations and standardization of masses for the right to alternatives and autonomy...

Hello Artivists from all over the world!

The German press said that the RAF might come back for G8, now it's true!!
It's the Resistance Art Festival.......

We plan to organize an artistic Temporary Autonomous Zone near Heiligendamm during the G8 summit in June from the 2nd (evening) till the end of the blockades. We are several tekno sound systems and demonstration organizers from all over Europe and we'll bring our gigs to Heiligendamm, we are all used to create Free Autonomous Spaces...

Our aim are to offer people a place to rest and to find a new energy to go back to the barricades and to mobilize all the people that wouldn't come without this event (don't laugh it's true, a lot of people would come if they can find also a festival there, it's a reason more to come for them). Our message is in our art (music, video, juggling, painting,...) and we do intend to make noise to be heard! We want people coming back from the barricades to be able to find a place to free their minds and moods from all aggressiveness and to motivate them back with our art...

Moreover the 8 bastards will speak about the copyrights and the distribution networks of art (DRMs, licenses, peer2peer, copy protections,...) so we cannot let them do without showing that Free Art is a reality, that we can do autonomous spaces for free and offering even more than "just" art to the people, and that we refuse their standardization of art and their capitalist way of seeing art in general.. Our art is not to sell!!

We have our own hardware (speakers, amplifiers, trucks, videoprojectors,...) so any artist can come and we'll be glad to accept any collaboration offered...

We are also in contacts with alternative artists from other scenes (rock, rap,...) and trying to arrange concerts too...

We asked for a place but still did not get any answers but even if they don't give us a place we'll take it, we are all used to that and ready to defend our camp... But honestly we don't think they will give a fuck about people dancing when they will have thousands of people trying to break their fucking fence at the same time ;)

We have organized an illegal Teknival with 5000 people in Germany (Baden-Baden) last year (and several ones all over Europe), just after the demonstration we organized on the 15th April 2006 in Strasbourg in front of the European Parliament, and some of our group also organized numerous illegal protests in Berlin (and legal ones too), so we are quite aware of how it goes there in Germany...

If anyone is interested in working with us in this project (the fact that you got hardware or not is not a problem) please contact us:

===============================

fr: Artivistes du monde,

La presse a declaree que la RAF serait de retour pour le G8, c'est vrai! Resistant Art Festival sera la smile

Nous allons organiser une Zone d'Autonome Temporaire Artistique près de Heiligendamm pendant le sommet de G8 en juin du 2 au soir jusqu'à la fin des blocages. Nous sommes plusieurs Sound Systems et organisateurs de manifestations revendicatives ayant sevis de partout en Europe et nous apporterons nos arts et notre materiel à Heiligendamm etant tous habitués à créer des Espaces Autonomes Libres…

Notre but est d'offrir aux gens un endroit pour se reposer et pour trouver une nouvelle énergie pour aller de nouveau sur les barricades et egalement de mobiliser toutes personnes qui ne viendraient pas sans cet événement (ne pas rire c'est vrai hehe, un bon nombre de gens viendrait si elles peuvent trouver également un festival là, c'est une raison de plus de venir pour eux). Notre message est dans notre art (musique, vidéo, jonglage, peintures,…) et nous avons l'intention de faire du bruit pour nous faire entendre ! Nous voulons offrir aux personnes revenant des barricades un endroit ou libérer leurs esprits de toute agressivité apres leurs actions directes et pour les remotiver avec notre art…

D'ailleurs les 8 bâtards parleront du sujet des copyrights et des réseaux de distribution de l'art (DRMs, licenses, peer2peer, les protections de copie,…) ainsi nous ne pouvons pas les laisser faire sans prouver que l'Art Libre est une réalité, que nous pouvons faire des Espaces Autonomes Libres et offrir encore plus que « juste » de l'art au peuple, et que nous refusons leur uniformisation de l'art et leur manière ultra liberale capitaliste de voir l'art en général. Notre art n'est pas a vendre ! ! Nous avons notre propre matériel (haut-parleurs, amplificateurs, camions, videoprojectors,…) donc tout artiste peut venir et nous serons heureux d'accepter toute collaboration offerte...

Nous sommes en contact également avec de nombreux artistes alternatifs d'autres scènes (rock, punk, rap,…) et essayons de mettre en place des concerts et des performances artistiques… Nous avons demandé un endroit mais n'avons obtenu toujours aucune réponse mais même si ils ne nous l'accordent pas nous le prendrons de force, nous sommes tous habitues a cela…

Mais honnêtement nous ne pensons pas qu'ils se soucieront de personnes dansant quand ils auront des milliers de personnes essayant de casser leur barrière de merde en même temps! Nous avons organisé l'année dernière un Teknival illégal avec pres de 5000 personnes en Allemagne (Baden-Baden) (et plusieurs autres en Europe), juste aprés une manifestation organisée le 15 avril 2006 à Strasbourg devant le Parlement européen, et une partie de notre groupe a également organisé de nombreuses manifestations illégales à Berlin (et legales egalement a Berlin, Paris,...), ainsi nous nous rendons tout à fait compte de la façon dont cela se passe en Allemagne…

Si n'importe qui est intéressé par travailler avec nous sur ce projet (le fait que vous ayez du matériel ou non n'est pas un problème) contactez nous via notre site, forum ou mailing liste:
