Back­ground info:

For 11 years Kebele has pro­vid­ed a self organ­ised space for rad­i­cal pol­i­tics in Eas­t­on, Bris­tol. From squat­ted begin­nings and resist­ed evic­tion to ful­ly fledged hous­ing co-op and vol­un­teer-run anar­chist social cen­tre, it’s a long sto­ry with plen­ty of ups and downs, gigs, meet­ings, par­ties and cafes along the way. Some­times it’s real­ly hard work, but there’s so much to learn from organ­is­ing col­lec­tive­ly with­out lead­ers and sus­tain­ing a street lev­el com­mu­ni­ty project.

It’s inspir­ing to see our prin­ci­ples still intact and at the heart of all Kebele does: equal­i­ty, inclu­sion, shared respon­si­bil­i­ty, co-oper­a­tion, sol­i­dar­i­ty, not for prof­it, direct action. These are more than emp­ty, life­less buzz­words. Kebele aims to be a reflec­tion of the world we want to see in our every­day actions and organ­is­ing; a liv­ing, work­ing exam­ple of what we’re told is not pos­si­ble…
