1995-2025 …. it’s time for us to celebrate!
Whether you were a part of BASE – or Kebele Kulture Project – in the 90s, 00’s, 10’s or 20’s … even if you’ve come through the doors for the first time in the last weeks, or if you’ve heard of BASE but have not yet got involved, we invite you to be a part of celebrating 30 years of our beloved social centre supporting Anarchy and Solidarity in Easton.
We don’t think a single event is enough… so there’s a series of plans. BASE is currently thriving, but there’s a lot of work in the week to week so we’re looking to our extended networks as well as our current regular volunteers and community to get involved in participating and organising these plans – if different people take a lead on different elements we can do so much more!
1. a ZINE… we’d love to publish a zine… what format it takes depends on the folks making it happen.
could there be personal stories of the impact of BASE on individuals and groups over the years? art from the archives? a how-to-get-involved? Reflections on how BASE’s role has shifted over time? a futurist vision of BASE in 30 years? could content be developed collectively through a workshop series in May/June?
2. a STREET PARTY
there’s nothing like a street party to bring community together. we’re looking at late September…
3. EVENT SERIES @ BASE during the birthday month of November
We will be waiving space hire fees for events making up a 30th Anniversary special programme during November.
We’ll ask events to have a connection to BASE, an explicit connection to anarchism, and to have an element of collectivity (eg not just a speaker talk with no participation) … and we’ll aim to put together a programme a few weeks in advance!
4. BIRTHDAY PARTY – towards the end of November we’d like to have a decent party at a venue with a bit more capacity than BASE itself!
