"THE RETURN OF NO FUTURE"
grrrl-engined, D.I.Y., non-commercial, post-Ladyfest/post-Punk festival
***sunday 22 November***
Ladyfest is een internationaal festival dat aandacht vraagt voor de ondervertegenwoordiging van vrouwen in de muziekwereld. Van ritmesectie tot geluidstechniek tot management. Het festival is girl-powered maar staat open voor alle sexen.
EVERYONE is invited! whom-/what-ever you are!
**********************************************************
Dit is alweer de vierde keer dat er in Amsterdam een Ladyfest evenement wordt georganiseerd, door een groep anarcofeministen, muzikanten, aktivisten, en sympathizanten. Acts uit verschillende muzikale stijlen geven een beeld van de diversiteit van hedendaags feminisme.
Met muziekacts in uiteenlopende stijlen en workshops over kunst en cultuur sprak Ladyfest een publiek aan dat los van de mainstream cultuur wilde denken en leven. Het festival is uitgegroeid tot een wereldwijd fenomeen.
This year the manager of a record label has decided to organize an event at a commercial venue and call it "Ladyfest" (Rotterdam, 20-22 november, EXIT). He has put together a program with bands without a meaningful message, and without workshops or other political content. The event is over-priced and marketed without ideals. There are otherwise no women involved in the organization, and communication attempts with him have been refused. The team believes that this is disrespectful of the 10-year tradition of Ladyfest, and is encouraging the wrong image of "women (on stage)".
We have decided to organize our own counter-event!
