SR MANIFESTO
Space Raiders connects, documents and promotes art, music, activism, spaces and people. We are a DIY magazine and promoter and want to aid in transforming the way gig spaces are experienced. Combining live events and exhibitions, online archiving and physical zines, we're bringing together like minded creatives in the scene. We want to cultivate community, join the dots with social activism and create safe spaces where people can freely express themselves.
The government is trying to limit our rights, our ability to enjoy art & music, connect with one another, educate ourselves and speak out in protest.
Space Raiders has had enough!!! We all have!!!
Space Raiders aims to reclaim space, by connecting with local & DIY venues, making our events inclusive, giving voice to important social issues and activism, and representing artists that need to be heard!
Dress up! Don’t let the drones get you down! Have a dance in this strange world and raid the space!!!
