Bunnies on Strike (website & zine)

Location

Netherlands

Bunnies On Strike is a work in progress. And it grows! It is no longer just a zine: it's a website, it has a spoken word section, a radical cheerleading section, had a band and a more then music festival and is still growing. But we want Bunnies On Strike to grow in more aspects. We are now working on organising a festival called GENDER OUTLAW that will contain performances of bands together with other kinds of performances [think of dj's spoken word performances, reading/storytelling, games, radical cheerleading, films, foodsharing etc.]

Activism
Teaser Image: 

DW: Please introduce yourself.....

T: My name is Tea, I’m 29. I have been involved in a lot of organising in the former squat (that now has a sort of an in-between status between legality and illegality), now Autonomous Cultural Center Metelkova mesto in Ljubljana. It is a big space where there are a lot of alternative cultural spaces. I was organising a lot of concerts and other events, including Red Dawns, obviously, but personally I am really really interested in writing so basically that is my priority – fiction, essays, translation.
