Das Holzrock Open Air ist ein linksautonomes Musik- und Kulturfestival. Das Festival wird von unterschiedlichen Menschen ehrenamtlich nach dem DIY (do-it-yourself) Prinzip organisiert. In monatlich stattfindenden Plenen kann sich jede*r einbringen, dabei streben wir in Grundsatzentscheidungen einen Konsens an. Die Festivalorga steht das ganze Jahr über für interessierte Mitwirkende und neue Ideen offen.

Das Holzrock soll ein diskriminierungsfreier Ort der Vielfalt sein, in dem Grenzen anderer respektiert werden und sich jede*r unabhängig von Herkunft und Genderidentität frei entfalten kann. Wir wollen einen nachhaltigen Raum für respektvolles und bewusstes Verhalten gegenüber Mensch, Tier und Natur schaffen. Bei uns herrscht kein Konsumzwang. Es geht nicht um Profit, sondern darum, dass möglichst viele Menschen ein schönes Festival zusammen gestalten und erleben können. Das Holzrock entsteht miteinander – füreinander, weil es Spaß macht die Welt selbst zu gestalten, deshalb verstehen wir uns nicht als Dienstleistende. Unser Ziel ist es Subkultur zu fördern und die regionale Kulturszene zu unterstützen sowie einen Raum für politische Ideen und Diskussionen zu schaffen.

Entsanden ist das Holzrock aus der Punk Bewegung Ende der 80er Jahre und die Energie schwingt immernoch im schnellen Tackt. Heute ist das Musikprogramm aber diverser und experimenteller als je zuvor - vom feministischen Hiphop bis zum kratzigen 80ies Wave oder stampfigen Techno des Nachts gibts für alle Ohren etwas!

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

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.

The Basel section of the BFS meets every two weeks. If you are interested in attending a meeting or event of the BFS Basel or if you would like more information, do not hesitate to contact us!

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.

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!

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.
