ABOUT THE FESTIVAL
For many years, Copenhagen have been the center for a strong
and engaged Do-It-Yourself (DIY) punkculture in Denmark. One of the
annual events was the K-Town Festival, where people from all over
the world arrived to party, perform, sell records, eat vegan food,
make politics and much much more. When we lost our house on Jagtvej
69, the festival continued under the name SHITTOWN Festival at
Christiania. After a long struggle, we took back that which was
ours from the start: A new youth house! Now running on it's
5th year, the scene is as strong as ever and we are
proud to present the 3rd edition of our
festival!
The thought behind DIY-culture is, to create an independent
network of artists, activist and social spaces, where everybody has
in common that they want to create culture because they can and
will, and not for the money or prestige. In the DIY-culture, the
aim is that everybody is even, so if you're a booker, play in a
band, build bikes, make peoples-kitchens or something
completely different - you are contributing to keeping the culture
alive, just by taking part og being there.
Exactly this mentality has made it possible to create a strong
international network across artificial borders such as
nationality, sex, sexual orientation, age and experience. What the
commercial industry sees as a problem, we see as a challenge, and
an opportunity to change the rules, learn more about each other and
ourselves as humans, in a world that belongs to all of
us.
We actively fight discrimination and cynical speculation in fame
and profit. This means that all forms of racism,
sexism, heterosexism and homophobia, violence and hard
drugs are completely banned from Ungdomshuset, and
every participant in the festival, no matter how you participate,
will be treated the same. All money from the festival will go to
covering the necessary costs of making the festival, like
electricity, water and food for activists, transportation and so
on.
