The material records all the actions, happenings, and activities organized by the 'Situationist Bauhaus' from 1973 to 1978 at the community-based art center 'The International Academy of Fine Arts - Symposium - Ubbeboda, Sweden', in which hundreds of artists from around the world participated.

The most active organizer at the Center in the small village of Lönsboda, was the self-proclaimed 'Professor and Art Missionary' Yoshio Nakajima. One of the highlights was the 'Intermedia Fest of Free Expression' starting in 1974, extending well into 1976, making it the longest symposium ever, with numerous participants from his worldwide network of Experimental, Fluxus and Mail Art friends.
