BaselWandel is an open platform for socially and ecologically committed and interested people in the Basel region. We offer a stage and a ground on which your project can grow by networking with other committed people and informing the public.

Through our networking platform we enable interested parties to meet different projects, bring committed people from different areas closer together and promote the development of a strong and diverse community from many individual initiatives.

As an information platform, we create an overview of all organisations and projects that are committed to social and ecological transition in the Basel region.

BaselWandel is organised as an association and sees itself as an open structure, which enables people and organisations to become involved as individual or collective members and to implement networking projects.

Fiasko against fiasko

In Switzerland, Europe and many places throughout the world, migrants are judged “unwelcome”. Arriving people are rejected, isolated, administered and locked away. Somebody who wants to fight against this, who is searching for reliable information, is confronted with an impenetrable jungle of laws, orders and official despotism. Medias publish mostly superficial articles, repor- ted always from the same presumptuous perspective. Structures and conditions should not be questioned – we place a totally different demand on this newspaper!

face it: more than informing and commenting

In this newspaper there will be place for critical and self-determined texts written by people who no longer want to go along with a migration regime that categorizes, oppresses and exploits. By people who have had enough of a society who grants privileges and excludes, who want to rise their voice – silently and cautious, aloud and angry. By people who want to choose freely with whom they want to live with and in which manner and where their life should happen. People who demand this for everybody – open and in solidarity.

deal with it: think along, exchange and intervene

The point of this newspaper is to enforce awareness and to come into action against any illegalisation, discrimination and exclusion. Contribute with your own texts to criticize fundamentally all the social, economic and political structures that back up the migration regime. Different kinds of contributions are welcome – apart from reports and articles there will be place for creati- ve inputs such as pictures, drawings, comics and poems. All the contributions come out in the original language and with an English translation.

go further: let’s use (the) fiasko

We are also up to to share our everyday life with many others, build things together, make fires or go swimming in the Rhein.
We have little desire to pay rent, to look only at the next house wall or to adhere to building regulations.
You will find us in the harbour

The climate strike is primarily a youth movement, but we welcome everyone!
We demand climate justice.
Mobilise, organise, strike.
The general strategy: unite struggles!

We are organized in a grassroots democratic way - decisions are made together. The ideas of all activists are equal as long as they comply with our action consensus.

Do you want to fight for social ecology and a climate just coexistence on our planet? We can't wait any longer: join us! #PeopleOverProfit

Under the name of IGNORANCE UNLIMITED, various action groups have come together to denounce the ignorance of the city of Basel. Actions under the name Ignorance Unlimited show that a globalised economy has global consequences and therefore a responsibility that does not bounce off city or country borders. The history and richness of Basel and Switzerland is based on the exploitation of man and nature in other parts of the world.

Ignorance Unlimited watches: Ecological destruction of local companies, the entanglement of Basel with global exploitation must be addressed and criticized. No additional tax income and no additional job for Basel justifies the behaviour of large multinationals and must not be used as an argument for justification. Let's talk about ignorance.

Über 10 Jahre gibt es nun die Capribar als kollektiv (un)geführte Café-Bar, als Ort zum Zeitunglesen und Verweilen, ganz ohne Konsumzwang. Neben Kaffee, Tee, Bier und Schnaps gibts hier immer wieder auch Konzerte, Lesungen und andere Veranstaltungen. Wir versuchen unsere Preise tief zu halten und die verschiedenen Veranstaltungen sind immer ohne Eintrittspreis (dafür Kollekte).

Das Barkollektiv sucht auch immer wieder Verstärkung. Falls du also Interesse hast, bei uns mal hereinzuschauen, kannst du dich gerne melden. Auch wenn ihr ein Konzert oder eine Veranstaltung durchführen möchtet, ist dies in den meisten Fällen problemlos möglich. Schreibt uns einfach eine mail oder kommt vorbei!

Der Ort ist nur sehr bedingt barrierefrei. Da sind zwei Stufen beim Eingang und die Platzverhältnisse sind eher eng. Es gibt einen kleinen Aussenbereich.

The "Summe" is an association of Basel's art and project spaces. The aim is to promote exchange between artists, projects and space operators, and to make them visible.
The ∑ SUMME is reinventing itself and will offer a portal for the visibility, networking and strengthening of the Basel art scene with a brand new website from autumn 2023. The ∑ SUMME will be (even) more than the well-known biennial events: it will be agenda, info portal, archive and exhibition space.
The ∑ SUMME was founded in 2015 by the artist-curator collective Dr. Kuckus Labrador and in December 2015, for the first time, the group exhibition ∑ SUMME was organised with over 20 project spaces in Basel. For this, the project spaces joined forces for the first time for a larger action, which brought increased attention and provided an opportunity for the various initiatives and projects to exchange information about their activities and goals. Since 2019, the ∑ SUMME has been organised as an association.

END FOSSIL: OCCUPY schools and universities!
Between September and December 2022, we occupied more than 50 schools and universities around the world to #EndFossil.

It is important that we organize ourselves as youth at work, at university, but also at our schools! For a social ecology and the end of the fossil industry, as well as its influence on society!

Our 3 principles:
1. youth led - The occupations are organized by young people. All are welcome to join!

2. climate justice - The political framework behind the occupations is that of climate justice. We want an end to the fossil fuel industry in order to achieve climate neutrality and global social justice. We want to achieve our goal through a global and socially just process.

3. occupy until we win - Our intention is to occupy (high-)schools in a wide variety of locations, disrupting public life until our demands are achieved.

We take our inspiration from countless historical examples, such as the 2006 Penguin Revolution in Chile, the 2016 Primavera Secundarista in Brazil, the global mobilization in and after 1986, and many others that have shown us that young people have the power to change society from the ground up. Our goal is nothing less: we start as students, but we want the whole society to take action for climate justice.

We are unstoppable - Another world is possible! We will not give up until the fossil era is over!

Das Holzrock Open Air ist ein linksautonomes Musik- und Kulturfestival. Das Festival wird von unterschiedlichen Menschen ehrenamtlich nach dem DIY (do-it-yourself) Prinzip organisiert. In monatlich stattfindenden Plenen kann sich jede*r einbringen, dabei streben wir in Grundsatzentscheidungen einen Konsens an. Die Festivalorga steht das ganze Jahr über für interessierte Mitwirkende und neue Ideen offen.

Das Holzrock soll ein diskriminierungsfreier Ort der Vielfalt sein, in dem Grenzen anderer respektiert werden und sich jede*r unabhängig von Herkunft und Genderidentität frei entfalten kann. Wir wollen einen nachhaltigen Raum für respektvolles und bewusstes Verhalten gegenüber Mensch, Tier und Natur schaffen. Bei uns herrscht kein Konsumzwang. Es geht nicht um Profit, sondern darum, dass möglichst viele Menschen ein schönes Festival zusammen gestalten und erleben können. Das Holzrock entsteht miteinander – füreinander, weil es Spaß macht die Welt selbst zu gestalten, deshalb verstehen wir uns nicht als Dienstleistende. Unser Ziel ist es Subkultur zu fördern und die regionale Kulturszene zu unterstützen sowie einen Raum für politische Ideen und Diskussionen zu schaffen.

Entsanden ist das Holzrock aus der Punk Bewegung Ende der 80er Jahre und die Energie schwingt immernoch im schnellen Tackt. Heute ist das Musikprogramm aber diverser und experimenteller als je zuvor - vom feministischen Hiphop bis zum kratzigen 80ies Wave oder stampfigen Techno des Nachts gibts für alle Ohren etwas!

The Velotour d'Horizon arrives in Basel on Friday, 17.7. Let's welcome the autonomously organised cyclists and have a good time together.
On 19 July, anyone who feels like it an cycle with us to Delémont.
