How to go to Clandestino Botnik (Bottna/Gerlesborg)
Since 2009 we have been arranging a festival excursion to Botnik Studios in Bottna and Gerlesborg, which is about 1,5 hrs drive north of Göteborg. Clandestino Botnik takes place 24-26th of July 2015. The exact adress is  Skärholmen Övergård 2, 457 48 Hamburgsund [MAP]. One of our partners is Gerlesborgsskolan where part of the programme takes place (including the concert with Kasai Allstars 1 of July).

History
Clandestino Festival is an alternative music festival that also includes other art forms and talks, that has taken place in Göteborg since 2003. The festival features international artists from places that are shaped by the the waves of global migration, creating a new alternative to commercial mainstream culture.

One of the original motifs was to bring attention to the case of Peter Ekwiri who was incorrectly deported to Ghana, even though he came from Uganda and Sudan,  after having been refused asylum in Sweden.

The festival reaches beyond multi-culturalism and fights the new faces of racism. It takes place at the center of migration and pluralism and challenges dominating ideas of cultural differences. The project in its entirety inspires to think rethink differences between people, beyon exotism, victimization and demonization.

By means of a genre defying electronic uproar, a posing of known and future legends, underground academic excursions and suggestive sound art, Clandestino Festival creates a different heart beat.

Over the years we have had the honor to present artsists such as  Lee “Scratch” Perry, Anoushka Shankar, Orchestra Baobab, Fatoumata Diawara, Buju Banton, Hindi Zahra, Konono N° 1, José González, Susheela Raman, Little Dragon, Shangaan Electro, Khaira Arby, Wu Fei, Junip, Talvin Singh, Fun^da^mental, Nisennenmondai, Le peuple de l’herbe, Batida, Débruit & Alsahra, Tori Ensemble and Tinariwen. Among many writers and artists we have presented are Nawal El Saadawi, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Linton Kwesi Johnson and Trinh T Minh-ha most known.
