Culture for everyone. A literary Telegram channel for reading and writing.
On this channel we create texts for a time, when certainties are not so certain anymore. Texts for a time, when occurrences are commented in the second they occur and become almost transparent in the process. Texts for a time that slips away from us. Texts like time fragments, that flicker up, are read and forgotten. Secret texts.
Texts about disappearance and the art of disappearing. About disappearance, which is an art, and art which disappears, when we do not see it. Texts for reflection.
What is going to disappear? What remains?
You have to say something about disappearance and want to contribute to this channel? Send a short poem or a short prose text to: kunstdesverschwindens@gmail.com
Please indicate whether your text is supposed to be posted anonymously or under your name.
This is a German channel. Texts in other languages can be posted with a German translation. We are happy to proofread the translations and we can help translating English or Spanish texts.
Texts that correspond to the concept of this channel will be posted.
All rights remain with the authors.

March against Bayer & Syngenta reveals the destructive practices of the huge agrochemical corporations and calls for sustainable, future-oriented and fair agriculture for everyone.
Over 70 percent of the global seed and pesticide market is currently controlled by four major corporations. These corporations stand for an agricultural system that destroys biodiversity, erodes soils, poisons groundwater and devours vast amounts of fossil energy.
In Switzerland and Basel we have to take responsibility! Since 2015 we have been organizing regular demonstrations, a variety of activities and events to raise public awareness of the dark sides of Syngenta, Bayer, BASF + Co. and to point out alternatives.

Critical Mass is a monthly mass bicycle ride that takes place on the last Friday of each month in cities around the world. It was started here in San Francisco in 1992 by cyclists and activists who wanted to increase the visibility of bicyclists and reclaim public space by making social use of the streets on a regular basis.
Die erste Critical Mass hat sich in San Fransisco im Jahr 1992 gebildet. Die Idee hat sich schnell auf der ganzen Welt verbreitet. Heute gibt es in über 300 Städten weltweit eine monatliche Critical Mass.
Die Critical Mass hat keinen Organisator. Wenn am vereinbarten Treffpunkt die kritische Masse erreicht ist, fährt die Masse los. Es ist keine Route vorbestimmt. Wer zuvorderst fährt, bestimmt die Richtung.
Wer sich mit seinem Fahrrad in den Verkehr begibt, setzt sich täglich grossen Gefahren aus und wird als minderwärtiger Verkehrsteilnehmer marginalisiert. Finden sich jedoch hunderte von Velofahrer*innen, um gemeinsam eine Rundfahrt zu machen, so können sie dem motorisierten Verkehr auf Augenhöhe begegnen.
Die Critical Mass blockiert die Strasse nicht absichtlich. Durch die hohe Anzahl Teilnehmer*innen entsteht kurzfristig ein Stau. Im Gegensatz zum motorisierten Verkehr, der tagtäglich unsere Strassen versperrt, handelt es sich hierbei um einen Stau ohne jegliche Umweltverschmutzung. Zudem erlaubt dieser Stau eine soziale Interaktion zwischen den Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen, da sie sich nicht durch eine Karosserie isoliert sind.
Wo die Critical Mass auftaucht, erfahren die Autofahrenden, was den Velofahrenden täglich widerfährt: Das Auto wird zum machtlosen Gefährt, das sich den anderen Verkehrsteilnehmer*innen (hier Velos) unterordnen muss.
Während der Critical Mass wird der öffentliche Raum vorübergehend zurückerobert und wird zum Ort des sozialen Austauschs. Dadurch wird der Gesellschaft gezeigt, dass es sinnvollere Verkehrsmöglichkeiten gibt als den motorisierten Individualverkehr.
Die Critical Mass ist eine friedliche Veranstaltung.
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.

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!
Opening hours: Jeden zweiten Freitag 17-21 Uhr
