Bratislava, Slovakia is home to several initiatives from below which focus on queer liberation, climate and environmental crises, the right to the city, or workplace struggles. However, there is currently no physical space dedicated to emancipatory politics. To organize public events, workshops and community activities, expensive venues have to be booked, often months in advance. This consumes a lot of resources in terms of both money and time.

We came together in the Winter of 2022 around the idea of creating a common space for coordinating our activities: education and discussions, public screenings, workshops, group meetings, and sports. We are groups and individuals organizing around and against the climate crisis, oppression of queer people, and wage labor. We view our efforts as part of a common fight for a world without domination. Our aim is to create an inclusive, safe, and collectively-run space independent of political parties, corporate sponsors, and state-controlled grants.

In the Fall of 2023, we were able to rent a space perfect for our purposes. See you at BUNT’s opening party in the Spring of 2024!

Why “BUNT”?

In many Slavic languages, “bunt” means “mutiny”, “revolt” or “rebellion”. The term originated in the German “Bund” for “union” or “association”.
