We will have a talk about anti-capitalism & financing your place and activities, diversity, solidarity, a DIY-venue as the kickstarter of your band/project. How did Vrijplaats Leiden found it's way to excistence? 'Equal programming': there will be a panel discussion with Eva van Meerten (Welcome to the Village, etc.), Francis de Souza (De X, Houtfestival, EBB music), Ivo van Rijswijk (Haarlem), Tamara Hasperhoven (Awkward Bookings/Innocent, Hengelo).
