-Emancypunx Records & Distribution-
Emancypunx Distribution was started as a collective project of the first polish anarcha-feminist group called KDP (women Against Discrimination and Violence). The distro started in the beginning of 1996, then after a while Emancypunx became also the name of an all-girl anarcha-feminist group. The idea of that group was to organize more radical actions than KDP and oppose any hierarchies & leaders (also among the group members). Trough these years Emancypunx was struggling against oppression (through organizing demonstrations, street actions, performances, conference, publishing zines and newsletters, shows, meetings...) and motivating other women to self-expression. As we, our visions, activity, opinions was invisible, ignored or even absent in the scene and world outside - there was no other way than to create our own positive reality. Cultivating & spreading "independent women culture" is the aim of Emancypunx. That's why the distribution & record label was formed - to give access to the results of our creativity and also to spread information (at this time music, literature or zine's done by women and for women where hardly available in Poland) . Not to forget: Emancypunx were involved in many DIY Hardcore/punk shows and also festivals like "Walpurgis night" ( focused on a pro feminist and pro queer message) and HC and sXe festivals. At the same time there is more activities signed as Emancypunx with many other girls involved like Radical Cheerleaders or Performance Group. For the end some lines about the name "Emancypunx". It's a word game (with the word emancipation/suffragette and punk). It means emancipation in punk. Hardcore, straight edge, women rights and a general political consciousness are a part of that emancipation.
