BANGS

BANGS is not part of their Empire,
and BANGS shits on their borders!
BANG BANG!
BANGS doesn’t give a damn about art institutions trying to control
what the heck art should be like.
BANGS invites everyone to make art we can’t imagine yet!
BANG BANG!
BANGS needs neither curator nor any other kind of exploiter.
BANGS is self-organised, for your delight!
BANG BANG!
BANGS receives no funding, BANGS raises funds! This year, for Palestine and Lebanon.
BANG BANG!
YOU WON’T GET FAMOUS AT BANGS!
BANG BANG!
ART IS POSSIBLE ANYWAY! HURRAH!
BANG in the park!
BANG BANG!
BANG in the bank!
BANG BANG!
BANG in the comfort of your own home!
BANG BANG!
BANGS takes place wherever, however and with whoMever YOU want!
BANG BANG!
BANGS opens itself to the people and dreams of this city. Make it your way!
BANG BANG!
BANGS calls all tricksters, witches, troubadours, monsters, magicians and all creatures to rage against the city, rage, rage against the machine in its own streets!
BANG BANG!
BANGS invites the artists to volunteer, the passers-by to perform, the audience member to co-organise…
EVERYONE BANGS TOGETHER!
