ignorance unlimited

Ignorance Unlimited watches: We thematize and criticize the ecological destruction of local companies, the entanglement of Basel with global exploitation.

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.

look&roll

Barrierearmes Kurzfilmfestival look&roll

look&roll is an international short film festival that highlights diverse perspectives on disabilities, chronic illnesses, and neurodiversity—lifestyles that play a significant role in shaping our culture. Through film, we create spaces where experiences can be shared, social norms can be questioned, and encounters can take place that would otherwise happen far too rarely.

March against Bayer & Syngenta

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.

KASKO

Burgweg 15

4053 Basel

The KASKO sees itself as a place of mediation and experimental, exploratory and processual art-making with an emphasis on the autonomy of the projects.

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.

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.

Coming Events
Lotta

Lotta ist eine revolutionäre, basisdemokratische Organisation aus Basel. Wir kämpfen für eine gerechte, herrschaftsfreie Gesellschaft, an der alle gleichermassen teilhaben können und in der die zentralen Entscheidungen gemeinsam von unten getroffen und umgesetzt werden. Gesellschaftliche Bereiche wie die Produktion, der Wohnraum und die Infrastruktur sollen gemeinschaftlich verwaltet und organisiert sein.

Die heute herrschenden Verhältnisse sind erdrückend. Wenige Konzerne besitzen unglaubliche Mengen an Ressourcen und Macht. Nach wie vor prägen sexistische Strukturen unsere Leben. Menschen werden aufgrund ihrer Herkunft, ihrer Religion oder ihres Aussehens diskriminiert und ausgegrenzt. Arbeitsbedingungen verschlechtern sich und die sozialen Verhältnisse verschärfen sich für die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung. Während die Umwelt zerstört wird, der Rechtsextremismus erstarkt und sich Millionen Menschen auf der Flucht befinden, glauben viele Menschen nicht, dass eine grundlegende Veränderung der Verhältnisse möglich ist.

Doch Widerstände und hoffnungsvolle Kämpfe gibt es überall. Von der neuen weltweiten feministischen Bewegung, zu migrantischen Kämpfen über die gilets jaunes in Frankreich. Von dem revolutionären Gesellschaftsprojekt in Rojava bis hin zur neuen, jungen Klimabewegung.

Wir wollen nicht bloss zusehen. Wir organisieren uns. Um der Vereinzelung und Ohnmacht entgegenzuwirken, möchten wir damit beginnen, den Aufbau von selbstorganisierten, ausserparlamentarischen und solidarischen Strukturen zu stärken. Lokal im Quartier verankert und doch verbunden mit Bewegungen an anderen Orten auf der Welt. Beteiligt am Aufbau von kontinuierlichen Strukturen, welche uns in den Problemen des Alltags Stärke geben – und gleichzeitig fähig mit Aktionen und Demos spontan in das Zeitgeschehen einzugreifen und revolutionäre Positionen in die Gesellschaft zu tragen. Gemeinsam möchten wir Erfahrungen sammeln und einen Schritt vor den anderen setzen.

Überall auf der Welt gibt es Menschen, die für ein anderes Leben einstehen und kämpfen. Durch unser Handeln haben wir die Macht, unsere eigene Zukunft zu gestalten. Erkämpfen wir uns unser Leben zurück!

Recht auf Stadt

4000 Basel

Based on our own experiences as people being displaced in Basel, we deal with the "right to the city" both in terms of content and actively on the street. The "right to the city" group meets regularly, discusses, publishes and plans actions. We are open for interested people =)
Contact us!

Getting wind of "urban development"? It's the wrecking ball.
The history of the displacement in Basel is long and it continues. The wrecking ball is cutting deep aisles into our city, through which the cold wind of displacement is blowing.

Who wants that?

Try to explain to a child why it is fair that an investor who has never walked through a house, never lived there and never worked there can now decide that those who have invested a lot of time, attention and energy in this place must be removed:

Because the world is unjust?
Because it is capitalist?
Because we subordinate ourselves to the market?
No.
Our city is not for sale.

People in this City have the right to help shape the urban space, regardless of the origin or size of their wallet. We fight, together and for all.

LILITH

Open meeting for women and genderqueer people

At Lilith, women and genderqueer people from very different parts of the world meet. We talk to each other about everyday and political issues that concern us. What we all have in common is that we know from our own experience what it means to be a woman or genderqueer person in a world characterized by social inequality and violence. We also see ourselves as part of a larger feminist movement, exchange ideas about feminist struggles in different countries and show solidarity with these struggles.
