What is TAMIZDAT?
TAMIZDAT is a non-profit organization dedicated to fostering the free
exchange of information and ideas between musicians, audiences, and members
of the music industry. Tamizdat works to build international communities
which support the music, arts education, and cultural cross-pollination
within Eastern and Central Europe and between Eastern and Central Europe
and the world. Tamizdat has created an interlocking program of projects
which provide the framework for bridging cultural and economic gaps which
culturally isolate Eastern and Central Europe. By fighting stereotypes and
by encouraging education, inclusion, and networking, Tamizdat is committed
to supporting the advancement of music and music education in Eastern and
Central Europe, and to supporting the advancement of these artists' work
throughout the rest of the world.
