Program 2026




Spinnerei – in the Anstadt Tent (Saturdays and Sundays from 4:00–6:00 PM)

Spinnerei is a discussion space within the Abolish program for anyone who needs a short break when there’s too much going on—but still wants to get back into the swing of things. Here, experiences are spun into stories, what’s been heard is unpacked, thoughts are shared, and together we pick up a common thread that sometimes takes surprising turns. We ask questions, laugh, and play—without any fear of getting tangled up in our own ball of yarn.

As an ongoing format during Abolish, Spinnerei regularly brings people together in small groups—appropriate topics and settings are chosen based on needs and interests. Round after round, new threads are knotted, existing connections are spun further, and the network is densified—with the goal of creating a resilient network in the long term.

Kickoff for Abolish! From Serafina Andrew

What Does Abolition Mean Today? Visibility, Representation, and the Politics of the Possible

This lecture shifts the focus from abolitionism as a historical movement to a contemporary political and cultural practice. Building on classical abolitionist theories, it explores how abolitionist perspectives circulate, become visible, and gain significance today—particularly in visual cultures, digital spaces, and political discourses. At the center are questions of representation: Who is included in abolitionist narratives, and who remains invisible? Which images of resistance dominate, and which experiences, bodies, and perspectives are missing from them? Abolition is understood here not merely as a demand for abolition, but as a project of the imagination: as an invitation to conceive of new forms of coexistence, care, and belonging.


The lecture combines political urgency with a cultural studies perspective and opens up a space in which abolition can be negotiated as an open, dynamic, and collective project.


The lecture will be followed by a moderated group discussion in which key questions will be reflected upon and discussed together.


The lecture will be held in English.

Underground Capacity Building: Anti-Rep-Input, Demo-Basics & "sauber arbeiten"A discussion on fundamental strategies and approaches to protect ourselves against repression during demonstrations. What strategies and investigative techniques does the police use? How can we protect ourselves against repression, both individually and collectively? As we work toward building a collective culture of defense that enables militant practices, we want to create a space to deepen our knowledge and share experiences.

Underground Capacity Building: Practice & Maneuvers
A practice-based workshop in which we will work together to address individual stress, collective panic, and a lack of solidarity on the streets. We will introduce exercises to train our breathing, awareness, and movements, as well as how to deal with violence on the streets and arrests during demonstrations. On the path toward a collective culture of defense that enables more militant practices, let’s work together to create an empowering moment!

Underground Capacity Building: Acts of civil disobedience Nonviolent direct actions, as a form of civil disobedience, are forms of protest that deliberately break rules to draw attention to political causes. nano introduces the various forms of this type of resistance, which, in addition to being nonviolent, share the common traits of public impact, moral justification, and a willingness to face potential consequences. The actions also vary in terms of risk level: from relatively low-threshold forms to those that can result in arrests and legal proceedings. Using concrete examples, nano explains the various risks. You will also learn about the necessary training, preparatory work, and clear roles within the actions. During the actions, activists often encounter different reactions—ranging from support to rejection or violence. nano discusses how to handle these situations and shares their own experiences with the psychological stress involved. At the same time, interaction with authorities is a defining part of the experience, especially when it comes to police checks or arrests. nano provides a brief introduction to this, covering dos and don’ts. nano is happy to take all your questions and answer them as best as possible.

Queer Arab Solidarity Support for LGBTQAI+ people in Morocco and the MENA region*. We are a resistance network of queer and LGBTQAI+ voices from Morocco and other arab/ islamic countries. Many of us have experienced imprisonment, violence, or oppression because of our sexual orientation or gender identity. Through our solidarity work, we aim to provide emergency support and shelter to LGBTQAI+ people who are in danger. We support those fleeing persecution in their asylum processes, document attacks and human rights violations against LGBTQAI+ people and build solidarity networks across North Africa and the Middle East. Since 2020, QAS has helped twenty queer people escape life-threatening conditions in North Africa and the Middle East and find refuge in safer countries. Many more remain in acute danger. We focus on life-saving interventions. We talk about our solidarity, experiences, and difficulties -especially during the COVID-19 pandemic- which we had the start of the project since 2020.

Deportations – What to Do? As “Fortress Europe” continues to expand, deportation practices are also becoming increasingly harsh: stricter laws, new international agreements, and more efficient detention centers are intended to make deportations even “more efficient” and opaque, while restricting our scope for action as much as possible. The message is clear: any resistance is futile.

But we cannot and will not accept this. In this workshop, we want to work together to identify the options for resistance available to us in the various “phases” of a deportation: when facing the threat of deportation, in detention pending deportation, during the deportation process, and afterward. The workshop will begin with a short presentation on deportation practices in Switzerland.

The workshop will be facilitated by members of anti-deportation detention groups in Bern and Basel and is open to people with and without experience in this area. The goal is to pool questions and knowledge and then make them available as a handout.

What should I do if I've crossed a line? A question that concerns us all. Because in addition to group decisions—which some of us have undoubtedly interpreted very flexibly or found ways around—situations repeatedly arise in which we behave in a violent, intrusive, or inadvertently boundary-crossing manner. This workshop will address fundamental questions: What is the perspective of those affected? What does taking responsibility mean, and why is it always demanded? What is the difference between the power to define and the power to act?

Structurally, we distinguish between: What can I do in the moment when I suspect that I have crossed a boundary? What can I do in the moment when I am confronted about it? What can I do if I realize that my behavior is recurring? What long- and medium-term approaches are available? The workshop primarily covers the basics of transformative justice and creates a space where questions can be asked without judgment.

CN: The workshop is not primarily about sexualized violence but about all kinds of boundary violations and how they relate to structural violence. Sexualized violence is explicitly addressed only in the final part and with the consent of all participants.

Beyond Punishment: Can Transformative Justice Lead to a Just Society Without Prisons!?

With Thomas
https://breakdownthewalls.site36.net/
In this workshop, we will explore and collectively develop insights into what prison abolitionism can mean in the here and now, as we strive toward a society that aims to—or should—function without police, prisons, and punitive structures. Where can we already begin to turn transformative and abolitionist ideas into reality today—and where do these ideas push us to our limits and initially leave us with a sense of failure?

Based on two real-life examples, participants will work in small groups after an initial presentation, and then reconvene as a large group to share any findings, ideas, and insights.

Film: “Those who burn the borders”



THOSE WHO BURN THE BORDERS is a documentary film started in October 2024 between Morocco, Ceuta and Europe, developed by IFLIS within Cadre Cagoulé, a rhizomatic audiovisual guerrilla collective. The film begins from the violence inflicted on colonised and migrant bodies by the border regime: repression, hogra, surveillance, humiliation, administrative violence, forced mobility, social abandonment and erasure. It is rooted in harraga trajectories and in the ways bodies are worn down, injured, disciplined and fragmented long before and long after the crossing itself. The project also addresses Morocco as a political space of repression and organised precarity, against the dominant narrative that reduces these departures to simple “economic migration.”

Why We Are All Perpetrators – A Workshop on Critical Masculinity
This workshop is intended for cis men as well as others who were socialized as male or who are exploring masculinity (e.g., trans men, non-binary individuals) and are willing to examine masculinity, sexual violence, and their own entanglement in power dynamics. The starting point is the assumption that we have been socialized in a patriarchal and misogynistic society whose norms and expectations shape our thoughts, feelings, and actions, often without us consciously realizing it.

The workshop creates a space where open yet responsible discussion is possible. This is not about assigning blame in an individual sense, but rather about critically reflecting on structures and behavioral patterns that facilitate or normalize violence. Together, we will explore how so-called “typically masculine” role models, notions of strength, dominance, or entitlement can be linked to forms of boundary-crossing and violence.

A central starting point is the question: What does it mean to be part of a system that produces inequality and violence? What responsibility does this entail for one’s own actions? The workshop invites participants to question their own attitudes, tolerate ambivalence, and grapple with uncomfortable insights.

Critical masculinity is deliberately not understood as a feel-good process. Rather, the focus is on examining one’s own position, recognizing privileges, and expanding one’s scope for action. Participants are supported in developing concrete strategies to act differently in everyday life—whether among friends, in relationships, or in public situations.

What does justice for Nzoy mean ?


Bündnis Justice4Nzoy https://justice4nzoy.org

Unabhängige Kommission zur Aufklärung der Wahrheit über den Tod von Nzoy https://nzoycommission.org/
On August 30, 2021, Roger Nzoy Wilhelm was shot and killed by police in Morges. Immediately, family members, People of Color, and supporters took to the streets under the banner of the “Justice4Nzoy” coalition to demand justice and highlight the racist nature of the crime. At the same time, they prepared for a long struggle, forming working groups and support networks.

During the legal proceedings, the family members experienced racist violence once again and therefore initiated an independent commission of inquiry comprising experts from the fields of law, medicine, and the social sciences to thoroughly investigate the circumstances of the murder. The research and investigative agency Border Forensics, together with the Commission, authored a report in which they fundamentally challenged the narrative of the police and of most media outlets regarding Nzoy’s killing and analyzed the various levels of racism and othering evident in Nzoy’s violent death.

Justice lies beyond legal proceedings and the question of individual guilt — it encompasses the explicit acknowledgment of the injustice inflicted by racist acts and underlying attitudes, a societal reckoning with racist realities in Switzerland, and the radical transformation of structures that enable such violence.

Members of the Justice4Nzoy alliance and the Independent Commission will share their experiences and discuss their work on the Nzoy case, inviting participants to reflect together on what justice might actually mean in the case of Roger Nzoy Wilhelm and in other cases of racist police violence, and to develop strategies to sustainably combat racism as a fundamental societal problem.

Back to the Future: Abolitionist Perspectives on the COVID-19 Pandemic





Five years after the COVID-19 pandemic, many people still find themselves at a loss for words when it comes to talking about that time. Emotions that make it impossible to bear the contradictions of that period. A sense of disorientation caught between state control and resistance to it. Hardened positions that have crept into our collective memory.


We want to create a space to talk about the fears and anger of this time. We want to examine concrete examples and “measures,” how we dealt with them, and how we might handle them next time.

And then ask ourselves: What abolitionist alternatives can we develop to deal with future states of emergency? And how can we, as collectives, ensure we do not lose our shared language and capacity for action?

The workshop is limited to 25 people, please sign in on geko@immerda.ch

An Open Exchange on Anti-Patriarchal Movements, Approaches and Practices As part of an anti-patriarchal movement, we want to come together, chat, and reflect. Let's discuss how this movement is evolving: What does a queer-feminist movement actually mean to us? And what have we learned from the fact that gender and role models are social constructs, not laws of nature?

Since gender roles are not fixed realities but are constructed, new ones may be less of a finished product and more of an ongoing process—one that is constantly changing, evolving, and sometimes even discarded. This makes it all the more important that this process not remain merely a “DIY project,” but that everyone sees their role in how we can deconstruct norms together.

What conclusions do we draw from this—and above all: What do we do with them now? How can we question norms, bend them, or even charmingly throw them out the window? And how do we carry these ideas both into our own bubble and further out into society?

In short: We want to find our orientation together, exchange perspectives, learn from one another—and in doing so, enrich the anti-patriarchal struggle.

Open Forum on the Future of Anstadt

Anstadt, as a testing ground for abolitionist practices, faces the threat of eviction in the medium term! For this reason, an open plenary session on the future of Anstadt will be held at the Abolish Festival. Because the place is important to many people and means far more than just a place to live, the plenary will be designed as an open space for collective reflection. Specifically, the goal is to outline scenarios for political struggle, to identify sources of motivation and direction, to facilitate participation and a sense of belonging, and to open up the space for ideas.

Many politically active people are very skilled at recognizing complex interconnections, analytically dissecting oppression and problems, discussing them, and so on. However, many of us have not learned to combine this with a mindful approach to our emotions and our bodies. This workshop combines abolitionist theory with bodywork. We will explore simple strategies that allow us to reconnect with our bodies and engage with one another on levels other than the intellectual, analytical one.

Bike repair day!

In emergency camps, such as Eschenhof/Gampelen, rejected asylum seekers are deliberately isolated from society. Bicycles provide greater mobility and flexibility. That’s why we’re collecting bicycles throughout the Abolish! campaign and repairing those with minor defects. Do you have a spare bike? Bring it over! 

To combat isolation, we’re collecting bikes throughout the Abolish! campaign! Do you or your friends have bikes (ideally still in working condition) that are no longer needed? Bike locks and lights are always great too. We need bikes for adults. We’ll fix minor issues (tires, brakes, lights, etc.) together on Saturday, June 6, right on site. 

If you have a bike but can’t bring it, let us know—we’ll be happy to pick it up.

Rebel Clown – Ridiculing Power What authority fears most is not confrontation, but being ridiculized.”In this 3-hour workshop we explore clown and buffon as playful tools of resistance and of imagining new worlds, rooted in ideas of abolitionism. Inspired by the Clandestine Insurgent Rebel Clown Army (CIRCA), we experiment with humour, bodywork and improvisation.Rebel clowning draws from different performance traditions: the playful vulnerability, absurdity and naïve curiosity of the clown and the sharp, satirical edge of the bouffon. The bouffon is an old theatrical archetype: outsiders once pushed to the margins of society who returned to mock those in power.Rebel Clowning is a technique and a state of being: open, spontaneous, and ready to fail. Rebel Clowns exaggerate rules, mirror authority and turn hierarchies upside down. By ridiculing police and state power, clowning exposes the absurdity of uniforms and control — revealing that authority is also a performance.In an abolitionist spirit, we explore how laughter can disarm fear, confuse and disrupt rigid systems and open space to imagine forms of safety and care beyond policing.No previous experience needed. Bring curiosity, playfulness and the courage to be foolish.

House of Conflict

Mo
“If the person cannot solve a conflict with a friend, how can they possibly contribute to larger effort for peace? If we refuse to speak to a friend because we project our anxieties onto an email they wrote, how are we going to welcome refugees, migrants and the homeless into our communities? The values required for social repair are the values required for personal repair.”
Sara Schulman ‘Conflict Is Not Abuse’

The workshop is planned for 3 parts. In the first one we will share and explore our approaches, challenges, fears and experiences with conflicts. What are the stories we tell ourselves?

The second will focus on learning and unlearning, where we can together have a look on some tools and practices, discuss and critically assess them, paying attention on what we can and want to do as individuals. The last part can have a form of reality check – what is actually doable on a collective level, what is the group responsibility and how to start the change.

Additionally I can offer a space to talk about your case study, a particular situation, possible moves – in a form of troubleshooting together. If you are interested please contact the organizers.

Framing Justice: Media, Climate, and Resistance in a Time of FascismThe Narrative: We are living through a historical moment of  polycrisis. Our struggle is not only ecological, it is a crisis of the mind and the narrative. As fascists weaponize climate collapse to fuel conflict and bloodshed, the battle for our future is being waged on the terrain of media and discourse.

"Framing Justice" is a collective effort to dismantle the media architectures that sanitize and normalize fascist agendas, commodify the destruction of our planet, and bury the truth under a cloud of distractions. This is a path along the frontlines, where the fight for a livable climate goes along with the dismantling of authoritarianism, racism, patriarchy, all interlocking systems of oppression. We aren't here just to "talk" about justice; we are here to build a radical, unyielding peace that refuses to compromise with the architects of crisis. To reclaim our world, we must first seize the power to define it. Through critical inquiry and participatory dialogue, we will redefine peace, re-envision climate justice, and build new frameworks for North-South solidarity, deconstructing old assumptions to sharpen our collective struggle.

Abolitionism in the Context of the Swiss Prison System?
When we discuss prisons and abolitionism within the local left-wing political context, the focus is often either on the practice of Swiss deportation/administrative detention, or on ideas and images circulating from other penal systems (e.g., the U.S. context). But what actually happens within the Swiss penal system? How is it structured, and what characterizes penal policies in this country? How are they connected to border regimes and other forms of oppression? And how should we address the fact that the penal system in German-speaking Switzerland, in particular, is sometimes even cited as a positive reference point from prison-critical perspectives? Can and should we still say “Down with prisons” or “Punishments should be abolished”?

We are two social anthropologists, prison researchers, and activists (including members of Bfa! and the alliance “Wo Unrecht zu Recht wird”) who look forward to discussing this with you. We have no personal experience with incarceration and are not directly affected by racism, poverty, or border regimes, but we are happy to share insights from several years of research on the Swiss penal system.

This workshop, featuring an introductory presentation followed by a group discussion on abolitionist perspectives in Switzerland, is open to anyone interested in reflecting on these issues. We will strive to make the presentation as accessible as possible and accommodate the need for breaks.

Against Punishment: Acting Beyond Guilt and Innocence This workshop provides insight into the work against racial profiling carried out by Leben ohne Strafe in Bonn.

The workshop consists of two parts. In the first part, we will introduce the structure of Leben ohne Strafe. We support people affected by police violence and the criminal justice system, whether because they have experienced a police stop, received a sentence, or are at risk of being incarcerated. The goal of the workshop is to provide people with information so that they can build a similar structure.

In the second part of the workshop, we will discuss why our work is abolitionist and what principles guide us in our work. Our focus will be on why our work requires that we move away from the distinction between guilt and innocence, because we want to combat the causes of violence, not individual people. We will explain how this approach leads to specific challenges and would like to discuss them with all participants.
