/////////////

"...Na een jaar van traineren heeft de burgemeester de horecavergunning afgewezen, op idiote gronden. Stichting Tweeënveertig, de huidige huurder, zal in bezwaar gaan. Maar dat traject kan nog ellenlang duren. Intussen zijn veel mensen het wachten zat. We hebben besloten de Stichting een hart onder de riem te steken en initiatief te nemen de ruimte leven in te blazen. Uit protest tegen de beslissing van de burgemeester, maar vooral om te laten zien wat nu eigenlijk de bedoeling is met die plek en hoe diverse groepen deze in de toekomst kunnen gebruiken gooien we de Vrankrijk vier dagen open met een politiek inhoudelijk programma."

Everyone is WELCOM!

:: Illegal = criminal ?!

About the hunt on immigrants in xenophobic Holland and the borders of fortress Europe. All Included will start at the beginning: The outer borders of Europe, where European organization Frontex tries to “coordinate” border control. Their idea is mainly to limit the amount of people reaching the borders, which leads to militarization of the borders and the most bizarre outposts in the “third countries”. Afterwards the ASKV, an Amsterdam-based support group for refugees, will tell more about the recent plans of minister Leers to criminalize people without papers. Last but not least there will be a presentation of the Dutch No Border Network.

Friday 19 August

:: Beat the Crisis

Yeah what is it with the crisis..! Things keep changing in rapid tempo, one country after another goes bankrupt, the triple A's disappear, inimitable recovery plans including dizzying amounts trillions... You still following? It's clear who will pay the price, because of course there will be cuts – and if you thought it was painful before, it will get even worse! Interesting analysis and of course resistance, by Globalinfo, Klasse!, Doorbraak and the Kritische Studenten Utrecht.

:: Euroshopper Charity Gala

Because soon we're all gonna be those less fortunate. Attention: with all the cuts on art subsidies, Euroshopper will soon become totally hipster. We still believe in our Euroshopper half-liters, which we bring ourselves. An evening of performances by Queeristan, for trash of all kinds! Dresscode: trashbag chic.

Saturday 20 August

:: Meet and Greet

An info market in which interesting and inspiring groups both big and small present themselves with stands, books, pamphlets and more propaganda. For those interested in visuals, there will be a VJ-ing workshop (bring your own laptop!) at 4 pm.

:: The Prohibition Crisis

A bar without consumptions is starting to kick in this Saturday. Feels like the Prohibition again. We all know how that ended. Again an evening of queer performances, this in the style of the timeless Great Prohibition this time: the roaring twenties..wrrrooaarrr!

Sunday 21 August
