Geschiedenis

Established in 1987 to stimulate the free and independent exchange of information in Europe across the borders of the nation-states; persons, groups and bodies considering themselves 'alternative', 'independent', 'radical' were called to take part in the first European self-presentation of publishers, distributors and others involved in the circulation of 'information carriers'; the 'Europe Against the Current' event in Amsterdam september 1989 attracted three hundred fifty participating groups from twenty-one countries; the multiformity, the multiplicity of opinions sought by the organizers was achieved but not all the participants and visitors were happy with it; the culturally oriented found the event too political, the politicals blamed its far too cultural character.
