D.I.Y. Curator

Founder of the DIY Cultures festival
www.diycultures.tumblr.com
Sunday 7th April, 12pm - 7pm
Richmix, London.

Thoughts on:

> Independent curatorial practice - self-organisation of cultural events ... guerilla war tactics against over-professionalised, autistic-academic, prog-rock, pomposity of contemporary art curating...

> Autonomous Politics - the politics of the little man, slowness, against bureacracy, against govermentality, against the market, against commericalism - what is left but love and autonomy?

> Zines and Zine-making - their ethos, potentiality and politics, their charms and harms, the aesthetics of the hand-made, collage and the photocopier

> D.I.Y Black World - We also challenge the US/ Eurocentrism of Independent culture beyond whitey hipster cliques. D.I.Y. Curator is anti-hipster and anti-fashionist to the core.
