TOKEN WORD FOR YOGYA!

Token Word is a celebration of hybridity, opening its warm arms each
month to spoken word, comedy, dance, performance art, music, visual
art... anything that speaks to an audience. This month Token Word brings
you something very different: a benefit gig to raise much needed funds
for earthquake relief work in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. 

Around 6000 people were killed, 46,000 injured and over 600,000 left
homeless in May this year when a high magnitude earthquake hit
Yogyakarta. Well known as the 'cultural capital' of Indonesia, many
artists, craftspeople, poets and musicians lost not only friends, family
members and their homes; but also their places of work and the means to
make a living. 

Now in the Indonesian wet season, funds are urgently needed on the
ground in Yogyakarta to continue the rebuilding of this vibrant city.
The Indonesian Forum for the Environment- WALHI - has been working in
Yogyakarta over the past six months helping survivors rebuild their
lives.  Having spent over a year working on emergency relief and
community empowerment in Aceh and North Sumatra after the 2004 tsunami,
WALHI now has extensive experience and networks in post-disaster relief
work and is the largest forum of non-government and community-based
organisations in Indonesia. Money raised at this month's Token Word will
go to support the work of WAHLI in Yogyakarta.

So come along for an evening of spoken word, theatre, open mic, music,
raffles, and prizes. And if you're lucky we'll throw in a bit of
dangdut, too.
