The Fraught Festival will be on the run from November 24th - December 24/25th and located primarily at the public library, with an opening chalk full of community togetherness loosely sewn together with discourses and strewn with a varity of craft-y-fullness the likes of Martha Stewert(?) has never seen. The planning and manifesting has just begun, though is growing steadily and thus far you can expect such
"Do It Yourself" events as:
-City wide treasure hunt spanning days possibly weeks in duration.
- Pinyata Pandemic, where essentially pinyata's will be getting smashed up at any possible moment of any possible day.
-Workshops and information bananzas on a whole range of things one can do and think, ex: make your own underware,
make your own books, make your own cleaning solutions, dolls, zines, jewlery, collages, and menstruation pads and so very much more!!!
So keep an eye out for posters interupting your cognitive brain processes and related scheduals as to dates,times and where-abouts and if your interested to get involved somehow, be it in presence, knowledge or just plain ol' fraughtfulness, email us at

i was wrapping a christmas present with some pages from the Yukon News, tonight, and noticed your article. it was very refreshing. i'm happy to know that you're not only living these principles (as i have met you and know that you and fabienne do), but are also spreading awareness in our community and creating environments in which people (who these ideas may be new to) can learn how to incorporate this philosophy into their daily lives.
i think that the Fraught Festival is a great idea. in our consumer-driven/dependent society, we often buy without thinking..it's more a reaction than the result of a thought process. people are taught NOT to think... and we've bought into that, by and large. i have to admit that, although i enjoy doing things myself, and try to keep what i consume to a minimum, that i can do much more. i am going to find more ways of incorporating this philosophy into my lifestyle, and increase awareness amid my family and friends. thank you for the inspiration. keep the information coming..
Re: christmas DIY gift projects...
at christmas, it is especially difficult to give DIY gifts, in a day when a gift often is not viewed as a gratuitous expression of love. expectations are high, and i have found that it is tough to take the time to craft something, with my own hands, with care and love, and have it be a disappointment to the one who receives it (because it was not what was expected). however, those DIY gifts will be used, or seen, and over time (in hope) ideas will change, and they will be the humble, cherished beginnings of positive change.
thank you for your time and effort. please pass my thanks on to those who live/work with you.
