Merhaba arkadaşlar 🫂

Son zamanlarda en çok “Bu sene ButFest olacak mı?” sorusunu alıyoruz. Kısa cevap: Bu yıl ButFest yapamayacağız.

ButFest’i beş yıldır kâr amacı gütmeden, gönüllü bir ekiple ve dayanışma modeliyle gerçekleştiriyoruz. Geçen yılki festivalden kalan borcun bir kısmını yine dayanışmayla, bir kısmını da ekipten bir arkadaşımızın çektiği krediyle bugüne kadar kapatmaya çalıştık.

Şimdiye kadar yaklaşık 110.000 TL ödedik. Ama hâlâ 180.000 TL borcumuz var ve artık bu yükü kendi aramızda taşımamız mümkün değil.

Bu yüzden ilk kez ButFest topluluğuna açıkça destek çağrısı yapıyoruz.

Beş yıl boyunca ButFest’in bir parçası olmuş, dans etmiş, üretmiş, dayanışmış herkese:

300, 500, 1.000 TL… Ne mümkünse.
Her katkı borcun kapanmasına yardımcı olacak. Destek olamıyorsan bu çağrıyı paylaşman da çok kıymetli.

Geçen yıldan kalan ButFest tişört ve çantalarımızı, 2.000 TL ve üzeri desteklere dayanışma hediyesi olarak göndereceğiz. 🫶

IBAN için DM’den bize ulaşabilirsin.

Bu yıl buluşamayacağız. Ama ButFest’in hikâyesinin burada bitmesini istemiyoruz. Önümüzdeki yıl yeniden buluşabilmek için önce bu yükü birlikte kapatmamız gerekiyor.

Şimdi dayanışma zamanı.
ButFest 🫂

Our second artist feature from the Queerwaves Collective for Around the World: Maui

Maui is an Istanbul-based genre-fluid DJ and producer. Developing an interest in music through classical guitar at an early age, Selin Akalın began sharing DJ sets and productions with listeners in 2018 under the moniker “Maui”, exploring different forms of bass-driven club music.

As a regular DJ at Queerwaves party series, Maui draws inspiration from the diverse and ever-evolving landscape of bass music, with selections rooted in Drum & Bass, Dubstep, UK Garage, and their various subgenres.

Through DJ sets and productions, Maui continues to explore new sonic territories and share them with listeners.

They are a member of q***r and trans-led record label, event series, art platform XSM and resident of istanbul based party series Queerwaves. 4-i also organizes parties that nourishes Istanbul’s q***r scene with line-ups featuring local and global artists.
