Wortstellwerk

Lindenberg 21

4058 Basel

At Wortstellwerk public writing workshops, projects and events are realised by and for young writers. In addition, workshops for school classes are organised according to individual wishes.

Creative writing, reading and text performance should be accessible for everyone who's interested. Therefore we create and/or host workshops and events ourselves and develop new formats.

We are organised as an association and meet once a month for a members' meeting. In this meeting new members can join, projects and actions are discussed and designed, projects are presented and there is a free exchange of ideas.

Magazin - Anarchistische Bibliothek Basel

Inselstrasse 79

4057 Basel

The magazine invites you to browse through rebellious stories, exchange ideas and discuss with each other

The space is a self-organised meeting place for anyone interested in anti-authoritarian ideas. And for anyone looking for access to knowledge and history that is critical of the existing social order.

We see the writing, distribution and reading of texts – be they theoretical essays, stories or experience reports – as an important part of resistance practice. Our selection of books and brochures includes historical and current content, but is by no means complete or conclusive. In this sense, we want to broaden our perspectives, strengthen analyses and make them accessible through texts and discussions.

In addition to the library service, brochures, zines and flyers are available to borrow and take with you. Or you can drop by for a chat with us. From time to time we organise information and discussion events, as well as readings and film evenings. We are always open to suggestions. You can also find material from us to write letters to prisoners. Our address can also be used for this purpose, and letters received can be collected during opening hours.

We see ourselves as part of the fight against gentrification and displacement in the neighbourhood. Together with the collectively run neighbourhood pub Capri Bar, which is right next door, we form a place beyond the obligation to consume and the logic of profit. We want to create physical moments of community to counter the increasing shift of social life into the isolation of digital space. Let’s fill the magazine with life together!

Opening hours: Montag 16-21h & Freitag 16-20h

BelleVue - Ort für Fotografie

BelleVue is the place in the region where contemporary photography is exhibited and discussed. In times of cultural change, places like BelleVue are important as a "cooking pot" of creative and critical ideas and innovative contributions. They offer a "friction surface" to the usual mainstream.

We offer an established platform for contemporary photography, regularly presenting works by well-known photographers and young talents to a wide audience in our exhibition space. The events are planned and organized by photographers or interested parties who are passionate about photography. We work on a voluntary basis and are organized as a non-profit association with 200 members, 30 of whom are active. For 10 years, we have been organizing a photographically diverse, exciting and challenging programme of exhibitions and events for professionals, but also for people interested in photography who realize their own projects within the framework of BelleVue.

Support our diverse program and become a member!

zur Bleibe

ZurBleibe ist ein Kochkollektiv welches zum Ziel hat durch gemeinsames kochen und essen Menschen zusammenzubringen.

Die ZurBleibe Crew besteht aus verschiedenen Menschen, die Freude am kochen haben. Du bist also herzlich eingeladen mitzukochen oder auch einfach zum essen zu kommen. Einige von uns haben kaum oder erschwerten Zugang zu Arbeitsmöglichkeiten. Darum wird drei viertel der Kollekte für einen Solibeitrag zur Unterstützung dieser Menschen verwendet. Das letzte viertel brauchen wir, um für Nahrungsmittel und Küchenutensilien aufzukommen.

Unser Essen soll für alle möglich sein, egal wieviel Geld jemensch hat! Deshalb gibt es bei uns aus Prinzip eine freiwillige Kollekte. Falls du über ein Einkommen verfügst, denk bitte daran, dass wir auf die Einnahmen der Kollekte angewiesen sind - eben um die Ziele von ZurBleibe unterstützen zu können.

KASKO

Burgweg 15

4053 Basel

The KASKO sees itself as a place of mediation and experimental, exploratory and processual art-making with an emphasis on the autonomy of the projects.

Als komplementärer Kunstort spielt das KASKO im Kontext der Basler Kunstinstitutionen eine eigenständige Rolle. Es funktioniert als flexible Struktur, in der Künstler*innen und Theoretiker*innen gemeinsam an der Schnittstelle von Kunst und Vermittlung arbeiten und den Dialog zwischen Kunstschaffenden und Kunstinteressierten anregen. Ein zentrales Anliegen ist es, Künstler*innen und Kunstvermittler*innen Freiräume zu gewähren und sie dadurch zu fördern. Weiter sucht und pflegt das KASKO die Vernetzung und Kooperation mit städtischen und regionalen Initiativen und Institutionen und mit anderen unabhängigen Kunsträumen im In- uns Ausland. Der Ort selbst steht Künstler*innen und Kunstvermittler*innen als Freiraum und Experimentierfeld zur Verfügung. Zugleich steht das KASKO auch für ein solides und nachhaltiges künstlerisches Programm mit grossem Fokus auf Performance und anderen performativen Ausdrucksformen.

QuSol - Quartier Solidarität

QuSol is a grassroots social center in the Matthäus district that brings people from different backgrounds together and provides space for political projects.

In our society, many people are affected by rising rents, job losses, poverty or police violence and are therefore struggling with psychological and material problems. In QuSol, we can come together as a neighborhood to get to know each other and build solidarity-based, emancipatory networks.
For example, the open café, regular free German courses or the "Lilith" meeting for women and genderqueer people take place here every second Friday. You can also come with your own ideas, we look forward to it!
