Brace Yourselves
NEW
DIRECTION FEST // AUG. 3-5, 2012 // OLYMPIA, WA
New
Direction Fest 2012 will be a space for people of the worldwide
hardcore and punk community to share experiences, skills, ideas, and
information about community organizing and other forms of radical
action. This convergence will include live bands, workshops, and
speakers engaged in the practical application of the radical ideas
and values of hardcore punk. Through these, we hope to inspire and to
mobilize one another to form a global network of resistance and a
movement for radical change, both within punk and without. Every band
performing has experience with political organizing, community
projects, and resisting systems of oppression and exploitation. The
goal of this fest is to breathe new life into the hardcore tradition
of resistance and to push our networks towards a NEW DIRECTION where
we can bridge the gap between hardcore values and the application of
these values through radical practice.
