Does your community need
an infringement Festival?
Odds are, yes. If your city or community suffers from
any type of oppression, monoculture, apathy, or boredom, an
infringement festival could provide inspiration and amusement - and
help raise awareness for positive social change and global justice.
What is an infringement
Festival, anyways?
The infringement is a democratically run,
non-hierarchical interdisciplinary arts festival open to all critical
artists - theatre, music, film, street performance, visual arts, you
name it.
The infringement will never discriminate, censor or
charge a registration fee and only accepts ethical sponsors that pose
no conflict of interest.
It began in Montreal in 2004 and has since spread to
Ottawa,
Buffalo and
New York City, with
Regina starting up
this summer and hopefully Toronto, Halifax and others.

history,
