Rave voor de Rafelranden
Underground Up!
Rave voor de Rafelranden organizes festive demonstrations to fight for more free spaces and non commercial culture in Utrecht. They highlight the importance of places that are created and shaped by a community from the bottom up, such as squats, alternative living communities and autonomous creative spaces that help independent art and culture thrive.
For U? the organization of Rave voor de Rafelranden presents an exhibition showcasing the gritty underground culture of Utrecht from its past to the present. Through images, sounds and stories, the exhibition offers a glimpse into the rebellious spirit that defies the mainstream, capturing the raw energy of the city's hidden spaces. Get a peek into life behind barricaded doors, where art, activism and freedom converge. It's time to dive into the rafelranden and bring the underground to the surface!
Self-run artist collective De Stadsjutters collaborates with Modulation, Rave voor de Rafelranden, and the Utrecht squatting info hour to create a stage for underground artists–promoting and celebrating free spaces, DIY cultures, solidarity, noise, trash and radical resistance.
