Callout for LoveKills Festival #4 (Camp in Romania)

Teaser Image: 

LoveKills Collective intends to bring about the fourth edition of LoveKills Festival in the summer of 2009. We will organize again the anarcha-feminist gathering, but this time we would like to organize it as a one week camp. The camp will take place in the mountains (west of Romania, Socolari village) between 27 july - 02 august 2009. Our experience with the previous editions and the impact they had, above all in the local context, conferred us not only with the motivation but also with the strength to keep on organizing such an event.
