We reclaimed our own campus from the hands of authority and stuck two fingers up, with a typically rebellious student attitude, to the bureaucracy and institutions that suppressed our actions.

Although it is of course typical for an activist to disregard authorities that attempt to intimidate them under fear, Tent State was different. It was not obsessed with making those who opposed it unhappy by continuing the event but aiming to benefit students; speaking as an organiser I can confirm this.

After starting to organise Tent State in February 2007 our belief in the project increased and so did our enthusiasm. But what were we actually doing? Tent State is an education festival that started at Rutgers University in 2003 in remembrance of the students who were shot by authorities at Kent State University for protesting against the Vietnam War. Tent State has been adopted by a number of universities across the United States; we are the first to do it in the UK.
