From avtonom

Unfortunately, due to global pandemic we must postpone the festival Father Frost Against. Our goal is to organise the festival during year 2021 in Helsinki, FInland.


Stay healthy and support autonomous self-organised infrastructures!

Here, on a politically neutral territory, we together (organizers / participants / guests) will create a temporary autonomous zone free from hierarchical forms of interaction and discrimination. The festival is organized by local activists, as well as participants from various horizontal initiatives, libertarian, left-oriented and anarchist communities in Russia and the post-Soviet area.

During the festival we will co-create and establish new projects and connections, produce situational practices and knowledge, and exchange experiences as activists, artists and disciplinary researchers from different regions and countries.

Father Frost Against is a territory for the political imagination, creating and supporting alternative practices of coexisting - a way of thinking, speaking and acting in opposition to outdated cultural codes. A space for strategies and tactics of solidarity, synthesizing theoretical and practical approaches aimed at researching and transforming socio-political and cultural processes locally, while keeping global contexts in perspective.

The festival are also a pleasant occasion for us to meet and spend time together enjoying performances, great music, discussions and relax in pleasant company and in a safe context.
