Bringing the Party Home
Festivals and Free Parties: A Multimedia Event
A multimedia event documenting 2 years of research on music festivals and free parties in the UK, with guest speaker George McKay (author of DIY Culture & Senseless Acts of Beauty) and an evening of free party sounds from Malnutrition, Chemically Driven and Ninja Hippies.
Are music festivals still about freedom, belonging and collective experience or have they become corporate theme parks?
Are free parties even more important as unbranded, unregulated spaces now that many UK music festivals are so corporately driven?
