Oral Text episode 1. Antti Ahonen, memories by pixelache

To celebrate 20 years of Pixelache, oral text proposes an approach to the insights of an art association through dialogues.

Oral text is a series of 3 episodes, dialogues or conversations, where the premise was only to situate the narration in the past, the present and the future.

Antti Ahonen has been around Pixelache since the beginning, in 2002.
So with Antti, there is this interview remembering the early years and past festivals.
We talked about enthusiasm, burnouts, similarities between art grants and cult choreographies to get money from the higher level, parties and festivals that happened in an island where you can't escape to be part of the festival program.
And many random memory souvenirs from the past era.
