There's E.g. a vivid music scene in Turku that will not be given any attention by this event. Also street arts such as stencil work, graffiti, etc. All forgotten. Photography by young and upcoming artists, stand-up, poetry, you name it.
I need around tree fiddy.
I hear ya man. The oldies in positions of authority are very often old-fashioned and staid in their ideas of what 'culture' means. Street art = vandalism, new music = a racket you can't listen to, modern stand-up = rude and uncouth not proper finnish humour like uno turhapuro. Stuck in the 50s tbh...not much different in most places in Finland I reckon. Not that this attitude is limited to Finland, mind you, and there are still people willing to put the effort in to promoting 'alternative' culture.DonFck wrote:
