"Welcome to Festival dos Canais and to the debut edition of VIC ZIN! We’re really excited to finally materialise this DIY editorial project, aiming to circulate the most significant news from the VIC Aveiro Arts House creative ecosystem, and to encourage the free exchange of exploratory ideas and cultural materials.
While you’ll also find a few interesting readings about upcycling and independent media, VIC ZIN #0 mostly revolves around our participation in this year’s edition of Festival dos Canais, featuring the implementation and artistic programming of two of the event’s most legendary meeting spots: Sala de eStar and Funky Beach."
"RECLAIM THE MEDIA!
Unlike other more recent tools and frameworks of expression, mass media have long come out as instruments of manipulation and coercion, explicitly serving the often incestuous interests of states and corporations, while manifestly dulling our senses and numbing our minds.
We refuse to be passive recipients of this monologue and instead choose to contribute to the free exchange of ideas and cultural materials, by harbouring, encouraging and cooperating with alternative voices, perspectives, and narratives that may attend to the real interests of both local and extended communities.
Determined to rethink freedom of speech as not merely a right, but as a facilitated reality for all, during this year’s edition of Festival dos Canais, we are finally implementing our long-wished-for fanzine project."
