A note on headdresses and threatening messages: ILLfest is committed to a safe and inclusive event for its attendees. All guests and working members need to feel safe, comfortable and welcome.In this spirit, ILLfest requests that American Indian headdresses be left at home. Out of respect for the community, it is inappropriate to wear headdresses outside of traditional ceremonies.Additionally, while ILLfest supports diversity in signs, totems, and articles of clothing, words or images that threaten to harm others are not welcome at ILLfest.ILLfest reserves the right to confiscate items deemed to be in violation of these policies at its discretion.As a team, we look forward to our vibrant and creative ILLfam honoring these requests. Thank you for working alongside our safety teams, workers and ILLfest family to make event choices that support our inclusive mission.
