Lakewood Resident Creates Temporary Autonomous Zone in Leavittsburg, OH
On September 28th – 30th, Recycled Rainbow, a temporary autonomous zone, will emerge at the Hide-A-Way campground in Leavittsburg, Ohio. Theme camps, art installations, and unrestricted creativity are among the many things you will experience; but this is a no spectator event, so you will find only as much as you are willing to contribute.
It's not about what you get, but what you give. Recycled Rainbow has 10 simple rules to follow: Radical Inclusion, Gifting, Decommodification, Radical Self-reliance, Radical Self-expression, Communal Effort, Civic Responsibility, Leaving No Trace, Participation, and Immediacy.
Other than firewood and ice, there will be no vending permitted. If you have something to give, gift it out. If you have something you need, bring it in! Pack everything you'll need for the weekend, take it out when you go, and leave no trace! There will be no dumpsters or trash cans or trips to the convenience store. Electricity and water are available in the main 'Downtown' campsite, and primitive camping is available in the adjacent “Invisible City”.
Prepare for rain! Prepare for anything, so you can do anything. Recycled Rainbow is an inclusive community project of which you are an integral part. You are radically responsible, but you are radically free! How will you contribute?
Each event has its own distinct theme. In lieu of our push for radical self-reliance, this year's will be Armageddon. Participants are encouraged to employ this theme in their artworks, costumes, and camps.
Tickets are available on-line through recycledrainbow.org, or in person from a Recycled Rainbow organizer, or at the gate (prices increase on Saturday.).
