Building: A DIY Guide to Creating Spaces, Hosting Events and
Fostering Radical Communities

One way to create and nourish the community we want to see
is to do it ourselves. Transforming into a post capitalist culture will require
a lot of energy, and perhaps generations since capitalism has been the
entrenched socioeconomic paradigm for at least the past six centuries. Every
time just one person decides to make different choices, we move closer to the
critical mass of social change.
The DIY movement creates opportunities for self expression,
celebration, togetherness, safety, music and dreaming. Building is a valuable resource full of practical information,
advice, and thoughts for consideration written by someone who has years of
experience in attending, organizing, and performing at DIY events. This zine
focuses primarily on music gigs, but the process applies to any DIY happening.
Venue, guidelines, safety, finances, promotion, neighbors, police are a few of
the topics covered in depth. Building is
highly recommended.
