UNDER The Volcano
Festival of Art and
Social Change coordi-
nating collective mem-
ber Irwin Oostindie has
a special problem.

How does one produce a festival
that celebrates “marginalized” per-
spectives without falling into the
trap of “appropriating” artists and

“commodifving”™ those who exist at
the fringes Of mass culture?

The ninth annual incarnation of

"Lhe festival chis vear features:

MB 5 full day of music — folk, blues,
punk, hip and world beat;
