Participation
Get involved! It’s more fun that way.
Self Reliance
You can ask for help, but help yourself first! Plan ahead to set yourself up for success. This means bring everything you need to survive for a week!
Communal Effort
Together we are strong! The more we work together to create, the more magic happens! If you see someone struggling, help them. If you see a problem, it is your problem.
Inclusion
Everyone is allowed at somewhere and there are no specific criteria that need to be met to attend. The right to be there comes with the responsibility of acting in a way that does not damage or endanger anyone else physically in a deliberate and malicious way and this right can be revoked if the responsibility is not met.
Leave a Positive Trace
Leave the space how you found it or better! This means clean up any MOOP (matter out of place / trash) that you find, don't bring glitter, and be careful not to harm any of the plant life or other life on the property.
As a unique experiment with Somewhere - each year there will be opportunities for semi-permanent art installations and structures to be left on-site.
Gifting
We value the act of unconditional gift giving with no expectation of anything in return. A gift with a price is no gift at all.
Decommodification
This event will be free of logos, advertisement, sponsor, cash, credit card, Paypal, Venmo, Revolut, Bitcoin, Doge, Ethereum, and any other means of monetary transactions.
Nothing can be bought or sold at Somewhere so best to leave your wallet somewhere safe.
Self Expression
Be yourself and embrace the same in others. Express this in whatever way you feel you want to as long as it does not take away from others expressing this same right.
Civic Responsibility
Somewhere strives to create a safe environment for all attendees. This can only be achieved if all attendees are respectful and abide by the laws laid out by Portugal and the guidelines given by Somewhere.
Immediacy
Embrace now! Perhaps the stories you hold of the past and future are illusory figures that trap you in a world where you can't see what's right in front of you.
