café révolution

Dear Boosters

The time has come! The space is painted and furnished. Books for the library have been ordered and tables for the co-working are coming. Do you want to see with your own eyes what you have made possible? Then come to our End of Summer Fest!

As summer comes to a end, we invite you to a rêve-olutionary weekend: Look forward to four days of workshops, music and food by and with local black and black-read artists, creators and activists as well as loads of community.

Here you can find the whole program: www.caferevolution.ch

See y'all there!

Dear Boosters

We've been a bit quiet on our channels lately, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes at café révolution! At the moment we are doing a little mini-renovation: painting walls, changing lamps, getting furniture... Here are a few impressions.

We are also busy discussing and planning an extensive program... hopefully it won't be long until the official opening!

We will keep you posted!

PS: Of course, we haven't forgotten your goodies. They will find their way into your mailboxes soon!

Amazing! We successfully ended our crowdfunding campaign last Thursday thanks to 404 boosters who contributed a total of 32,691 CHF! 🎊

A big thank you to our community - all of our followers, boosters, collectives, supporters, friends, but also our Bla*Sh family, the team at RonOrp/Crowdify and all of the amazing artists* who helped us get such a great project off the ground (@daydreamdojo, @anouchkagwen and @ev.e.prn)! We never would have made it this far without you! Thank you so much! ❤️

We are now moving forward with the realization of café révolution so that we can open our doors to you as soon as possible. We will keep you updated! For all the news and info, keep following us on social media @caferevolution.bern and subscribe to our newsletter at www.caferevolution.ch

Of course, we haven't forgotten your goodies. You will receive them in the coming weeks.

Thanks again for your incredible support!

Dear Booster

HOLY MOLY! ⚡ We made it and only thanks to you! Last Thursday, we reached our goal and received 30,000 francs from 366 boosters in only 3 weeks! Not to mention the countless likes, tags, reposts and encouragements! We are completely overwhelmed and incredibly grateful, touched and absolutely thrilled. ♥️ We can't wait to open our doors for you and to live the rêve-olution!

However, our crowdfunding will continue until the beginning of March, so we are not done just yet. From now on, all contributions that come in will help us:

- continue to live the dream after the opening and ensure the sustenance of café révolution.

- to set up a solidarity fund. 🤝 We are aware that the success of this campaign is not only a testimony to the huge demand and your great commitment, but also to our own privileges. Not all, but many in our collective have the Swiss passport, are cis, hetero, have no visible physical disability, are straight-sized - just to name a few examples. Privileges that grant us credibility and access to a network that other multi-marginalized people with great ideas and projects do not benefit from. We ask for the conversation of intersectionality not only from our community, but also from ourselves. That's why we especially want to support collectives, individuals and initiatives that don't benefit from the same privileges and are given little or no space. With the solidarity fund we can offer a platform to those very people, for example by making the café révolution available for free use.

We would be happy if you continue to support us actively: Like, Share, Repost and maybe even show your grandma our crowdfunding campaign.

Again, a big thank you to you for your incredible support! Stay healthy and lots of love ♥️

Shout out to @ev.e.prn!

We had the immense pleasure to acquire some of the incredible work of Lausanne based photographer and videographer Ève Marie Perrin. She kindly let us use her pictures from the Black Lives Matter marches all over Switzerland for our crowdfunding video.

Apart from her Instagram profile you can find more of Ève’s work on her website : www.evemarieperrin.com.

We highly recommend :

QUEER AND BLACK – a photo and video series highlighting queer and black individuals in Switzerland

US – depicting black individuals in Switzerland reappropriating public spaces and narratives they have too often been erased from

And if you pass by Lausanne, make sure to keep an eye out for „US“ currently exhibited in the streets throughout the city (until January 29th)❗️
