After the success of last years festival, DIY Aye! returns to the Star and Shadow cinema this year for another weekend of workshops, talks, music, films, discussions and more all based on the anarchist ethos of Do It Yourself!

With events happening on bookbinding to screenprinting, squatting to workers rights it should be a great weekend. This year we also have a number of events being organised by the local IWW to celebrate International Workers Day.

With plans afoot for a city centre game of capture the flag, as well as a critical mass, theres going to be plenty of things happening.

Keep checking the website for more details!

If you do Capture the Flag, please please please do not publicise it as anything other than a bit of fun. Only the most bizarre pretentious but ultimately devoid of meaning post-situationist rhetoric could justify it being remotely political. Let alone anarchist!
But cool, it sounds pretty fun.


[P.S D-I-Y is all very well, and a pretty good ethos - but it's a punk philosophy. There are overlaps with anarchism for sure, but anarchism is about class struggle..]

Yeah, anarchism is about class struggle, but class struggle through workers self organisation....which sounds pretty d.i.y to me.....
