∑ SUMME

Basel

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.

Wolke7

The internet is not only about the sharing ideas and information. It's about decentralizing power. That's why nearly every government and corporation on the planet is against net neutrality. - And why we must fight for it!

Under the name of wolke7 we're providing a local, encrypted and independent cloud service for storing and sharing data with other people.
A tiny team of volunteers maintains ther servers, the website and everything besides that. We are interessed in managing data in a propper way and being a part of a complex challange for our society.

The project is based on open source software of nextcloud and runs on our own servers.

Jetzt Kämpfen - Revolutionäres Klimakollektiv Basel

Come to our open meetings and join the struggle against the capitalist system and for a social and ecological world. We have no time to lose: Let's draw the practical consequences from our knowledge and conviction!

Anti-capitalist, queer-feminist and anti-racist - for a revolutionary perspective!

We as “Jetzt kämpfen” - the revolutionary climate collective from Basel, are a revolutionary, extra-parliamentary and anti-capitalist climate group, consisting of individuals and people from political associations.

FEM*FEST #3 2020

FEM*FEST #3 2020

As active queer feminists we see a social responsibility for inclusion, visibility and public presence. Through a various programme around the 8th of March we want to draw attention to the different life experiences of women, trans* and queer people. We also want to show how plural feminism is and how variously feminism can be lived.

The fem*fest aims to be open to all people. For the events and workshops we do not charge an entrance fee (with one exception!), but a voluntary donation in order not to exclude any person due to their financial situation. We will also organise whisper groups for translations if necessary and explain the respective space policies (e.g. "for all gender", "error-positive space", "only women*lesben*inter*trans* people etc.) and ways of speaking (how do you want to be addressed: name, pronouns, gender...)!

Basel2030 Klimagerechtigkeitsinitiative

Basel

Climate Justice Basel
Call for climate justice in Basel and worldwide!

The electorate approved the Basel2030 climate justice initiative with 56.7%. In the run-off question, the counter-proposal was accepted with a majority of 61.9%. With this result, climate justice, the polluter pays principle and "1.5°C" are written into the constitution as a guideline for state action! The desire of the people of Basel for consistent climate targets is great. Now it is about the implementation.

Measures for climate justice
We demand that emissions be reduced particularly quickly over the next 5 years. The population should be involved in the process and those who are particularly affected should receive additional support. It is important to move forward in many different areas, e.g. to immediately stop climate-damaging projects such as the Rhine tunnel, to promote innovative start-ups or to introduce further training for teachers to support them in communicating the climate crisis in the classroom.

We demand all this and much more. In the "Necessary Measures for Climate Justice and Net Zero by 2037" we have thought about what the implementation of the initiative requires. We have handed over the list of measures to the government and look forward to continuing to implement the initiative in the future. There is a lot to do.

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!

Opening hours: Samstag und Sonntag, 11 bis 17 Uhr
