OPEN CALL TO ORGANISE AND TAKE PART IN "MUSTA PISPALA" ANARCHIST COUNTERCULTURE FESTIVAL
---- Musta Pispala (?Black Pispala?) is an anarchist counterculture festival organised
yearly in the city of Tampere, Finland. The festival will be this time 17-20 July 2014,
and festival takes place again in the cultural environment of Pispala region, 2-3 km from
city center. In the festival there will be different sorts of events ranging from
workshops to anarchist book fair and record fair, gigs and football tournament - full
festival programme will be announced later on. ---- WHY MUSTA PISPALA? ---- We believe is
important to have free spaces that are anti-commercial, against all authorities and
hierarchies. We want to create this space so that people can feel themselves safe, and
safely interact and work together - independent from their age, gender, cultural and
social backgrounds and possible physical/mental disabilities. What we want is anarchy here
and now.
