More info about the event here:

A group of gnomes arrived at Pori, Finland to launch a campaign in favor of gift economy on Wednesday 17.12. "The Worried Xmas Gnomes Manifest" was handed to people on the streets. The campaign continued in the 3H+K -gallery at 16 with a gift workshop, a discussion titled "Gift Economy NOW!", and the concert "Free Santa! that beginned at 20.


Gift Workshop

We worked on the idea of a gift to produce gifts where the thought mattered most.


Gift Economy NOW!

What is gift economy? Could it be a realistic possibility in the future? The ongoing economic crises has undermined the trust in the blessings of global capitalism preached by the high priests of capitalist economy. The system needs a change where can we find alternatives? Could economy be built on the gift instead of exchange?
The discussion started with a video connection from Bosnia-Herzegovina by Andrius Kulikauskas, the founder of Mincius Sodas laboratory situated in Lithuania and a co-writer of "An Economy for Giving Everything Away".


Free Santa concert

Audience and guests witnessed a video from Santa, manifesto reading, live music, performances, gnostic gnoming and other such entertainment. Free Santa from the business and advertisement hounds!

Merry Xmas and other gift giving festivities wishes to you all,
Hurðaskellir, The International Xmas Gnome Movement
