Welding Night: Twerking Class Heroes, Elsa, Fadri
The prelude to the three EPs soon to be released by the Twerking Class Heroes from Basel. The new EP: technoid sound with distorted, aggressive acid lines and rocky, metallic soundscapes.
Grounds: Marta Riniker-Radich
The Kesh people, who according to Ursula K. Le Guin “might be going to have lived a long, long time from now,” define wealth as the ability to give a lot without expecting an equivalent return. Today already, aside from purchases, contractually agreed upon services or strategic donations, one can give without expecting anything in return, relying instead upon indirect, mutual aid. What can emerge therefrom is gratitude – a force that does not guarantee but rather fosters social cohesion. It is a glue that holds a community together, in which contribution and reception are based on voluntary participation. If, though, I accept something not because I want it, but because I need it and no one else can give it to me, then I consent not with gratitude but with mistrust. In this instance, even if the giving is wrapped up as a gift, something can be demanded in return. For it was the giver who was rewarded—with power. To oppose an unwanted gift, such as a job, one would need, thinking along the lines of Lévi-Strauss, alternative options (inheritance, self-sufficiency through gardening), violence (sabotage), an indispensable counter-gift (specialization), or a change of interest (idleness instead of unemployment, or the philosophy of the Kesh). Then it would be possible to abolish all of the obligations that weigh people down and which it is hoped they cannot fulfill. Welcome!
Aus der Zwischenwelt - Buchlesung
A life on the run from the German state
Bernd Heidbreder, on the run from German justice for decades for trying to prevent the construction of a deportation prison, dies in Venezuela in 2021. While he searches for a way to cross the River of the Dead into the underworld, he spends his time talking about his life as an antifa in Berlin. His friends from the real world have written it down for him and turned it into a book. In addition to all kinds of bizarre encounters with other people stranded in limbo, Bernd gives us a few tips on how to deal with the growing fascization. Although he gained his experience in the 1990s, much of it is certainly transferable to the present day. The book is also a journey through autonomous politics of the 80s and 90s, from communal life, Kurdistan, revolutionary May Day, feminism, militancy and much more. We want to read from it and discuss what could still be useful from this narrative in the present day, and Thomas Walter, who lived in exile in Venezuela with Bernd Heidbreder and Peter Krauth, will also be at the event.
