i amnto sure if i post this on the right place, but i guess the event is politcally enough to be here.
free4later.org, former known as free4euroalernatives, chanaged mision for this year. the struggle against demolition of freespaces and against polcie brutality didn´t loose imortance to us, but for 2007 we put our priority on the g8, simply because we see a chance to move something for the location in the quiet middle/north of europe.
we believe that it is necessary and a bit of a duty that freeparty/freepsaces are represented at the g8. also we hope to mobilize people to come, which would have rather stayed at home.
our site is barely finished, lot of content is still missing, but we keep it daily updated and working on.
for the entire planing of this event we are working with the global network against the g8 via dissentnetwork and all the others which became a quiet genius mashup of different groups for one aim: SHUT DOWN THE G8 !!
we are going to build a tekcamp, a autonomous zone for people to share their resistant art and way of living, to be, to rest, to meet up etc.
this tekcamp is called resistance art festival, cause it will be build with our existing infra structure. one could call it teknival, but it wont be classically like this as we go contacted by so many different artists, so we can provide a multi-art-share-place !
i guess the call doesnt leave much questions open, if there are any, dont hesitate to contact us 🙂
Free4alternatives
is an activists group coming from the Free Spaces scene (Free Party, Teknival, Squat, Trailer site, TAZ,…)fighting against liberty deprivations and standardization of masses for the right to alternatives and autonomy…
This time we want to mobilize our scene to come to the blockades and protests against the G8 2007 on the 2nd to 8th June in Heiligendamm (Rostock, Germany) by organizing a Free Artistic Space there:
Hello Artivists from all over the world!
Press said that the RAF might come back for G8, it’s true!! It’s the Resistance Art Festival 
We plan to organize an artistic Temporary Autonomous Zone near Heiligendamm during the G8 summit in June from the 2nd (evening) till the end of the blockades. We are several tekno sound systems and demonstration organizers from all over Europe and we’ll bring our gigs to Heiligendamm, we are all used to create Free Autonomous Spaces…
Our aim are to offer people a place to rest and to find a new energy to go back to the barricades and to mobilize all the people that wouldn’t come without this event (don’t laugh it’s true, a lot of people would come if they can find also a festival there, it’s a reason more to come for them). Our message is in our art (music, video, juggling, painting,…) and we do intend to make noise to be heard! We want people coming back from the barricades to be able to find a place to free their minds and moods from all aggressiveness and to motivate them back with our art…
Moreover the 8 bastards will speak about the copyrights and the distribution networks of art (DRMs, licenses, peer2peer, copy protections,…) so we cannot let them do without showing that Free Art is a reality, that we can do autonomous spaces for free and offering even more than “just” art to the people, and that we refuse their standardization of art and their capitalist way of seeing art in general.. Our art is not to sell!!
We have our own hardware (speakers, amplifiers, trucks, videoprojectors,…) so any artist can come and we’ll be glad to accept any collaboration offered…
We are also in contacts with alternative artists from other scenes (rock, rap,…) and trying to arrange concerts too…
We asked for a place but still did not get any answers but even if they don’t give us a place we’ll take it, we are all used to that and ready to defend our camp… But honestly we don’t think they will give a fuck about people dancing when they will have thousands of people trying to break their fucking fence at the same time 
We have organized an illegal Teknival with 5000 people in Germany (Baden-Baden) last year (and several ones all over Europe), just after the demonstration we organized on the 15th April 2006 in Strasbourg in front of the European Parliament, and some of our group also organized numerous illegal protests in Berlin (and legal ones too), so we are quite aware of how it goes there in Germany…
If anyone is interested in working with us in this project (the fact that you got hardware or not is not a problem) please contact us:

Thought this would be a good place to put this..????????
Protesters have clashed with police at a largely peaceful anti-globalisation rally in the German city of Rostock.
Rocks, bottles and sticks have been hurled at riot police, who are using tear gas and batons charges to try to disperse the hundreds of rioters.
However, the violence only involves a small portion of the estimated 30,000 people police say had joined the rally.
They are protesting against next week’s G8 summit of leading industrial nations in Heiligendamm, 25km (16 miles) away.
More than 160 groups of anti-globalisation activists, left-wing groups, students and anarchists had been taking part in the march.
Organisers had predicted that 100,000 people would be joining the protest, and though the police estimates of 30,000 are much lower, the BBC’s Tristana Moore in Rostock says many more people are still arriving in the city by bus and train.Police say that at least 146 officers have been hurt in the fighting.
Masked protesters have broken up paving stones to use as projectiles and overturned and torched several vehicles, spreading a pall of black smoke over the area.
“The police were attacked massively from the violent protesters. They threw bottles, fire crackers, rocks and Molotov cocktails,” police spokesman Frank Scheulen told the Associated Press.
Riot police have responded with tear gas and water cannon in an effort to drive them back.
Our correspondent says that although police have been involved in running charges with protesters they are isolated incidents on the fringes of the rally, involving just a fraction of those in attendance.
The majority of demonstrators have already passed through the city centre and are gathered near the harbour to enjoy a pop concert, our correspondent says.
The challenge for the police now is to contain the violence and ensure it does not reach that concert area, she adds.
Organisers at the concert have been making announcements urging people to stay where they are and not venture over to the part of town where the violence is taking place, but, according to our correspondent, many have been leaving to do just that.
Here to stay
The German authorities had warned in advance that there were serious concerns that far-left groups were planning violent attacks.
The authorities said they would react quickly to any trouble and had deployed at least 13,000 police onto the streets.
Some shops had boarded up their windows as a precautionary measure.
Many of the protesters have travelled to Rostock from all over Europe and the majority have made camp by the harbour saying that they will stay put until the G8 summit, which runs from 6-8 June.
The activist have pitched their tents in a large field where the main entrance bears the words: “No police and no neo-Nazis.”
“It’s very important people all over the world come and protest against the politics of G8, which actually refer to all people of the world, although they are driven from the high elite in the G8 countries,” said one protester.
“They actually use citizens of the world and the environment of the world as their playground to achieve more money and power.”
