dbo:abstract
  • Ένα συνέδριο furry (αγγλικά: furry convention) είναι μια επίσημη συνάντηση από μέλη του furry fandom - άτομα που τους αρέσουν οι φανταστικοί μη ανθρώπινοι χαρακτήρες με ανθρώπινα χαρακτηριστικά. Αυτά τα συνέδρια παρέχουν για τους οπαδούς ένα μέρος για να συναντηθούν, να ανταλλάξουν ιδέες, να κάνουν συναλλαγές, να διασκεδάσουν και να ψυχαγωγηθούν με επίκεντρο την έννοια αυτή. Με προέλευση την Καλιφόρνια των ΗΠΑ, κατά τα μέσα της δεκαετίας του 1980, υπάρχουν σήμερα πάνω από 40 ετήσια συνέδρια furry παγκοσμίως, και κυρίως στη Βόρεια Αμερική και την Ευρώπη. Το μεγαλύτερο είναι το Anthrocon, το οποίο πραγματοποιείται κάθε χρόνο στο Πίτσμπουργκ της Πενσυλβάνια. Τα συνέδρια προσφέρουν μια ποικιλία προγραμμάτων που καθοδηγούνται από εθελοντές, που συνήθως επικεντρώνονται στην τέχνη του ανθρωπομορφισμού, στην χειροτεχνία, στην μουσική και στην λογοτεχνία. Κάποιοι συγκεντρώσουν χρήματα για φιλανθρωπικούς σκοπούς. Οι παρευρισκόμενοι συχνά ντύνονται με τα fursuits και φοράνε κονκάρδες με το όνομά τους για να αναγνωρίζονται, αν και η πλειοψηφία δεν φέρνουν fursuits. Μπορούν επίσης να ξοδέψουν χρήματα σε δουλειές ερασιτεχνών και επαγγελματιών καλλιτεχνών, άμεσα και σε δημοπρασίες. (el)
