Basel is becoming more and more exclusive, affordable living space is disappearing, there is no room for non-commercial living together.
But we do not let ourselves be repressed and organize ourselves in "Häusertreff". As those affected, we offer mutual support and plan strategies to resist isolation and displacement.

Support us, come by, interfere, it concerns us all!

Opening hours: **Treffen nach Bedarf - kontaktiere die Betroffenenvernetzung via e-mail.

Once a month we get together to draw or be creative otherwise and to have a drink. About place and time we inform on a telegram-channel, instagram and b-Seite. Bring friends, pens and drinks.

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.

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

In order to support various projects in Basel and other places in the world, there will be Soli-Glacé sales every Monday during the summer (until mid of September).
Besides the financial contributions, it is important for the Acero collective to set a sign with the Soli Mondays. against state repressions and to support
resistant ideas.
The profit of all these mondays will be
shared in solidarity among the various
projects.
Information about the projects can be found on site.

Opening hours: Di-Sa 11-22Uhr, So 11-18Uhr

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...)!

Queerfeminism is meant for everyone and if it's new for you or you haven't been in touch with movements, you're all the more welcome. We value error-friendliness, mutual respect and to treat each other free from discrimination. We want to shape this space together, so feel free to tell us about your ideas, your suggestions and wishes for your own events.
The living-room is open regularly each week alternating Thursday evening and Saturday afternoon, sometimes with more sometimes less program.
Open for all genders. Not barrier-free: three steps. For more information see @Zeitloseswohnzimmer.

Opening hours: Do: 19-ca 21h, Sa: ab 15h
