Tamizdat's Mission:
Tamizdat is a nonprofit organization that is committed to fostering the free exchange of information and ideas between artists, audiences, and industry. Tamizdat works to build international communities by bridging the cultural and economic gaps that separate American and Western Europe from Central and Eastern Europe. To do this, Tamizdat has created an interlocking program of projects aimed at providing the foundations and the framework for cultural cross-pollination between artists, music industry personnel, and most importantly, between audiences everywhere.
Tamizdat is founded on two fundamental convictions:
1) That the cross-cultural free exchange of ideas is the most crucial prerequisite for people to develop independent, progressive, and critical understandings of contemporary cosmopolitan society
2) That experimental and independent contemporary music is intrinsically rich with cultural foment and discourse, making these arts and the cultures which surround them extraordinarily productive avenues for the cross-cultural free exchange of ideas
