The self-organized collectives of Basel, Restaurant Hirscheneck, Eiscafé Acero, Carambolage, Capri-Bar, queerfeminist library Sp!t, SUR3*TU, UG-Kollektiv, Infoladen Magazin, Druckkollektiv Phoenix, Getränkekollektiv, Elsi und Brockenbude Glubos call for financial support to keep our self-created structures alive!

Collective action

Over many years the self-organized groups and venues in this city have built independent structures which are not oriented towards profit increase or prestige of the people who co-organize them, and they enable many to have an income and projects on an equal footing. Organizing as a collective allows us to challenge internal hierarchies again and again and to fill the opening spaces and possibilities with critical content. Helping neighbors and other support work is lived solidarity.

Stay collective

Many of you used and still use these different spaces, as guests or customers, as visitors or friends, to organize politically. Now it is about helping the collectives to get over a difficult time and to prevent these structures from breaking away. In order to support each other as spaces, we hereby start a common fund for collective preservation. Wherever there is an emergency, the collected donations will be used directly and according to the most urgent need and necessity to pay the bills. Together we can keep these places alive for all who use and run them!

INAYA is a Basel-based structure for refugee women and genderqueer people. It wants to show solidarity directly. One priority is a redistribution of needed money from those who have enough to those whom have too little. In this way, basic needs are to be covered securely and in the long term. For refugee women and genderqueer people, existing support structures are non-existent or difficult to access. That is why INAYA!

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.

Creative writing, reading and text performance should be accessible for everyone who's interested. Therefore we create and/or host workshops and events ourselves and develop new formats.

We are organised as an association and meet once a month for a members' meeting. In this meeting new members can join, projects and actions are discussed and designed, projects are presented and there is a free exchange of ideas.

Opening hours: je nach Event

After five years of housing struggle, the Steinengraben had to make way for a luxury project of the owner Helvetia-Versicherung. It is now enhancing the former city oasis in a prime location with expensive offices and loft apartments A luxury building project of the owner Helvetia-Versicherung is now disfiguring the former city oasis in a prime location with expensive offices and loft apartments.

We the community of Steinengraben are now scattered to the four winds. Steinengraben is gone but not everything that has grown between us could be destroyed with the demolition..

Our short description follows ;)

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).

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

Was sind Feminizide?
Alle Menschen werden in der Gesellschaft in die binäre Geschlechterordnung von “Frau” und “Mann” gewiesen. Morde an Frauen und genderqueeren Personen die aufgrund dieser Geschlechtszuweisung als “Frau” begangen werden, werden als Feminizide bezeichnet. Feminizide geschehen meistens innerhalb der Familie, in häuslichen Einheiten und in anderen zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Diese vermeintlich privaten Umgebungen, in denen Feminizide oftmals stattfinden, lassen die Verantwortung des Staates gegenüber Feminiziden vergessen, denn staatliche Behörden begehen und tolerieren Feminizide. In Medien wird von Familiendramen oder Mord aus Leidenschaft berichtet. Dadurch wir die Systematik hinter den Morden verschleiert und die Motive der Täter banalisiert und verharmlost.
Das muss sich ändern: Feminizide müssen klar als solche benannt werden.

Wer sind wir?
Ni Una Menos Basel ist eine offene Gruppe aus jungen Frauen und genderqueeren Personen, die sich Anfang 2021 zusammengefunden hat. Ihren Ursprung hat die "Ni Una Menos"-Bewegung (deutsch: Nicht eine* weniger) in Argentinien. Die Bewegung entstand 2015 als Reaktion auf einen Feminizid, bei dem ein 14-jähriges schwangeres Mädchen von ihrem Freund ermordet wurde. Seitdem hat sich die Bewegung zuerst in Südamerika und später auf der ganzen Welt ausgebreitet.
Ni Una Menos Basel organisiert nach jedem Feminizid, der in der Schweiz geschehen ist oder in Verbindung zur Schweiz steht, einen Gedenkprotest.
Wir kämpfen gegen das Vergessen, in dem wir denen gedenken, die nicht mehr unter uns sind. Den Verstorbenen versuchen wir eine Stimme zu geben, da sie keine mehr haben. Wir sind da für alle Überlebenden und Hinterbliebenen. Ni Una Menos Basel möchte jedoch nicht nur die Trauer zum Ausdruck bringen, sondern auch die Wut auf das patriarchale System, welches die Täter schützt.
Ni Una Menos, Vivas Nos Queremos!
(Deutsch: Nicht eine* weniger, wir wollen uns lebend)

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.
