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.

Right to the city in Basel - from below!

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.

In times when racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, and marginalization are openly shown and inherent to the system we feel it is necessary to organize ourselves against such tendencies. We exchange knowledge of current incidents and strategies of resistance, organize events and connect with other groups that are active and show solidarity against racism and neofascist tendencies.
For the good life!

We meet every last Monday of the month.

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

Texts that correspond to the concept of this channel will be posted.

R.A.B. is an alliance of anti-patriarchal forces of the extra-parliamentary left in Basel. Our focus is on the 25th of November which is the international day against violence towards women and genderqueer people as well as the 8th of march¹.
Every day we experience being suppressed by the patriarchy. In a capitalist system, patriarchal structures lead to the exploitation of women and genderqueer people.
We don't want more gender diversity in the head positions, we want do abolish capitalist systems. Part of that is to overcome gender specific work segmentation, specifically reproduction and care work. We want to overcome the binary gender roles of “men” and “women”. The liberation from patriarchy must go hand in hand with the liberation from imperialism.
In R.A.B. we summon our anger towards daily sexism and transphobia, towards the daily violence that far too often even leads to femicide and murder of trans people. Let us use our differences as strength. Together against the patriarchy!

B-Seite

… is a calendar to provide an overview of the subversive everyday life in Basel, as well as the various self-organized events and self-administered initiatives.

… should empower the different anti-capitalist, DIY, ecological, emancipatory, queer*feminist, anti-racist, revolutionary, spontaneous, planned, … events.

… should make these events more accessible.

… is a tool to connect the various initiatives, whether on the digital platform or out there in the real world, for example with the monthly print version or mutual support.

… should continue the idea of the former, analogue B-Flyer (thanks for that<3).

In summer 2021, a caravan of about 160 Zapatistas will come to Europe, including Switzerland. For that, we are organising ourselves!
We are people from different collectives, organisations, spaces, squats, with different perspectives, backgrounds and languages.

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!
