In summer 2021, a caravan of about 160 Zapatistas will come to Europe, including Switzerland. For that, we are organising ourselves!
We are people from different collectives, organisations, spaces, squats, with different perspectives, backgrounds and languages.

We are a collective from Kleinbasel. We organise various events (non-commercial and with collection only) in our space and in the garden.

Kommt noch! <3

The self-organized collectives of Basel, Restaurant Hirscheneck, Eiscafé Acero, Carambolage, Capri-Bar, queerfeminist library Sp!t, SUR3*TU, UG-Kollektiv, Infoladen Magazin, Druckkollektiv Phoenix, Getränkekollektiv, Elsi und Brockenbude Glubos call for financial support to keep our self-created structures alive!

Collective action

Over many years the self-organized groups and venues in this city have built independent structures which are not oriented towards profit increase or prestige of the people who co-organize them, and they enable many to have an income and projects on an equal footing. Organizing as a collective allows us to challenge internal hierarchies again and again and to fill the opening spaces and possibilities with critical content. Helping neighbors and other support work is lived solidarity.

Stay collective

Many of you used and still use these different spaces, as guests or customers, as visitors or friends, to organize politically. Now it is about helping the collectives to get over a difficult time and to prevent these structures from breaking away. In order to support each other as spaces, we hereby start a common fund for collective preservation. Wherever there is an emergency, the collected donations will be used directly and according to the most urgent need and necessity to pay the bills. Together we can keep these places alive for all who use and run them!

After five years of housing struggle, the Steinengraben had to make way for a luxury project of the owner Helvetia-Versicherung. It is now enhancing the former city oasis in a prime location with expensive offices and loft apartments A luxury building project of the owner Helvetia-Versicherung is now disfiguring the former city oasis in a prime location with expensive offices and loft apartments.

We the community of Steinengraben are now scattered to the four winds. Steinengraben is gone but not everything that has grown between us could be destroyed with the demolition..

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

INAYA is a Basel-based structure for refugee women and genderqueer people. It wants to show solidarity directly. One priority is a redistribution of needed money from those who have enough to those whom have too little. In this way, basic needs are to be covered securely and in the long term. For refugee women and genderqueer people, existing support structures are non-existent or difficult to access. That is why INAYA!

Mit aktiven Sektionen in Basel, Winterthur und Zürich setzen wir uns in den Bereichen Arbeitskampf, Frauenkampf, internationale Solidarität und politischer Widerstand in Theorie und Praxis ein. Wir verbinden diese verschiedene Kämpfe und organisieren Veranstaltungen und unterstützen antikapitalistischen Widerstand auf der Strasse.

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.
