What is the BezGraniz festival?

The BezGraniz festival (full name “BezGraniz: body, society, culture”) by the social BezGraniz (NoBorders) project  is social initiative that struggles to change the views held by society regarding people with disabilities. This year’s BezGraniz festival is dedicated to the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games. The festival starts on on March 11. It’s main goal, — just like the main goal of the whole BezGraniz project, — is to try and change the society’s habit of treating people with disabilities as if they were invisible, — as well as to try and change the habit of Russian press to treat disability as an invisible issue.

This year’s Bezgraniz festival goes beyond the scope of the disability issue and deals with the great variety of themes regarding the relationships between body and contemporary society. We are sure that everyone who is interested in modern culture, technology, art, fashion and other hot topics will find something to see, hear and discuss on the versatile list of BezGraniz-2014 events.
