Ohio's dana have a great collection of bandcamp music genre tags. egg-, garage-, proto-, post-, psych-, synth-punk, avant-garde ... their extensive use of frequency analyzers and a theremin makes you think of DEVO in just seconds. Ohio must be a weird place.

market saturee is a basel based improvisation/jazz rock trio. it's groove-heavy and built to move, but the sound shifts fast - jumping from dense drones ot jagged melancholia to sheer mechanical force.

The NoBorder Café opens every Sunday with coffee, tea, sweets and more.

Invitation to a beautiful place, every Sunday from 14 to 17h. Sure*Tu's NoBorder Café on Freiburgerstrasse on the edge of the forest, very close to Bässlergut prison and the federal asylum centre, is becoming an increasingly important meeting place for people with and without refugee experience.

The FLINTAS Liberate FLINTAS campaign was launched in response to the arrest of two comrades who were charged with, among other things, prisoner liberation. As part of the campaign, a brochure was created with various portraits of FLINTA prisoner liberations and collective self-defense as part of a revolutionary, international struggle. In a short presentation, we will introduce you to the brochure and let these stories speak to us as a source of ideas, visions, and tactics, thus creating our own history of resistance. Remembering means fighting!

The talk will be held in german.

A low-threshold German course for everyone! Want to improve your German in a fun way? Come along – no registration required!
We look forward to seeing you! Olivia and Eva
Free of charge

We are celebrating the release of the 11th issue of Fiasko Magazine. With dinner, Kurdish dance music, DJs, and of course the freshly printed magazine!

Fiasko is published approximately once a year and sees its contributions as a critical intervention against the migration regime.

The queer-feminist reading circle is to take place regularly in the feminist library.

This is a first meeting to get to know each other.

At this first meeting, we can collectively decide:
- how do we imagine the reading circle
- what do we want to read
- when and how often should the reading circle take place.

The 25th of November is the International Day for resistance against Gender-Based Violence. This violence is the most common unnatural cause of death for women, inter, non-binary, trans and agender persons (FINTA). This violence is most often perpetrated by cis men closest to the victims. Far too often, our own homes are the most dangerous places we can be in. This violence, these murders, these feminicides are not individual wrongdoings, but rather the result of a patriarchal society. A patriarchal and capitalist society is constructed on the exploitation of others. This society relies on strict adherence to gender roles. Housework, child-raising, emotional labour – in short, reproductive labour – are assigned to ‘women’ and are expected to be provided for free. This creates a power imbalance, dependency and exploitation between genders. Anyone who deviates from these roles, assigned gender or the gender binary, becomes a direct target of patriarchal violence.
Supposedly masculine ‘values’ gain (and are gaining) prominence. Manosphere influencers find resonance with their content garbage and spread hatred, violence and warmongering, coupled with extreme right-wing views. We must continually defend hard-won achievements such as abortion without penalty.

Warmongering is omnipresent. Here, countries increasingly arm themselves and pour money into wars, while social inequality is reaching repulsive levels, hitting FINTA individuals particularly harshly. There are more wars everywhere. The genocide in Gaza is an escalation of this violence.
Wars force people to flee. Women and genderqueer individuals are particularly at risk. Instances such as forced prostitution and trafficking (of women) are examples of this. In addition, gender-specific violence is an age-old war tactic. This includes deliberately sexualised violence. In war, vital infrastructure such as healthcare is often destroyed. Matters, such as hormone therapy, become nearly impossible, birth and pregnancy becomes life-threatening.
Patriarchal violence affects society as a whole, both here and worldwide.

However, we can fight back! The women's revolution in Rojava demonstrates how collective self-defence is possible. Self-defence is not just individual and selective resistance against everyday patriarchal attacks, but a collective force. We fight for our own spaces and achievements. Let’s organise ourselves against assault and exploitation by those in power. We stand in solidarity with everyone who takes to the streets on 25 November for a world without violence and exploitation!

The Critical Mass is when enough people on bicycles take to the streets and become the traffic. It's not organised and we simply use the public streets to have a good time.

Two musicians engage in a dynamic dialogue, quick-witted and energetic, focused and open-minded. The multi-layered music that emerges takes its own path, exploring boundaries and integrating the unexpected.
