Salvia solidaris apotheke
The Salvia solidaris apotheke strives to create a radical alternative to conventional medicine. We take a holistic view of physical and mental health and identify the systemic causes of health problems. Our medicines are natural and herbal-based, with an emphasis on the origin of the herbs, a healthy environment, and the collective building of knowledge about their effects. Salvia solidaris offers tinctures, hydrolates, and dried herbs for a solidarity contribution so that they are accessible to everyone without distinction. At the workshop, you will learn about how the solidarity pharmacy works and acquire practical skills in the use and collection of various medicinal herbs.

Reading workshop and introduction to the ARGO collective
ARGO (A-Reading GrOup) is an informal group of people who meet regularly to read books, mainly of a left-wing political nature, and discuss them. The group has been active since May 2024, and in addition to reading and discussing, we also socialize, share interesting things with each other, and participate in events together. Since the beginning of this year, we also have an English-speaking group that meets every two weeks. We look forward to seeing you at the workshop, where you will have the opportunity to experience how our meetings work. We are happy to welcome new members!
Queer and deep ecology in the context of humans and nature being inseparabe and our responsibility towards it
Klára and Iva's workshop and interactive class show the connection between queer and deep ecology, in the context of humans and nature being inseparable and our responsibility towards it. We will focus on how conservative ideas about nature as a space of cisgenderism and monogamy contrast with the queer diversity and variability of nature, which are part of our being. The goal is not only to deepen our connection with the more-than-human world, which is key to resisting individualizing capitalism, but also to develop responsibility towards other beings and learn how to handle this responsibility. The workshop will offer theoretical and practical tools for developing this interconnectedness, which is the basis for inter-personal and collective revolution.
Activist legal self-defence
Getting ready for a demonstration or public disobedience? Do you want to be more certain in what to expect on such events or what you can expect afterwards? Are you uncertain about what the police is allowed to do to you or what to expect on the police station? We are going to discuss this and more on the Activist's legal self-defence workshop. Don't expect an expert disputation or lists of paragraphs, we are mostly going to talk practicals and experience.
A walk through the Káznice building
Today's community centre building has both a rich and a sad history. It was an orphanage, a prison and the house of the Moravian region's archive. Dissenters of the old regime were imprisoned here between the years 1945 and 1956, hundreds of political prisoners passed through its' cells and were executed.
You will learn much more on the walkthrough.
Projects working with children from excluded localities
An important part of Czech anarchist anti-fascism was not only the fight against anti-Gypsyism by Nazis and "decent Czechs," but also support for Roma communities. However, this support was often sporadic and has been largely invisible in the last decade. Currently, three long-term projects are being developed in parallel, working with children from excluded localities in Litvínov, Brno, and Ostrava. These projects will be presented to us, and we will then discuss some of the key issues and dilemmas of their work.
The Feminist Take Over (Vienna):
Radical gossip workshop (in English)
The Feminist Take Over is a autonomous queer-feminist collective, based in Vienna. Connected through their rage about patriarchy and sexism in society but also the leftist scene and spaces, they founded their collective to take back space for political action, make their rage visible and remind everyone that feminism is not a joke, but a real struggle that concerns everyone.
In their workshop they will give insight in their political practice and explain their modus operandi of radical gossiping, a method they established and respectively implemented in their meetings to connect, protect each other and act. This workshop is for everyone who wants to get a new insight in what gossiping really means, why it definitely is a part of feminist empowerment instead of cancel culture and for everyone who is interested in getting to know practical propositions how to implement radical gossiping in their own political work.
Living differently
A group discussion about the diversity of community living. For many years, squatting has been associated with anarchism as a space for fulfilling basic needs, but also for creating political alternatives. However, the fulfillment of needs is increasingly encountering repression. In recent years, projects such as Shared Houses have been developing, where properties are cooperatively purchased from the market. People are also starting to live more in trailers and cars, and new "wagenplatzs" are emerging, or sublet community housing is being formed. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages, joys and pitfalls of different types of alternative housing.
Alcohol and kratom
Let's have a peek at how alcohol, kratom and other substances change our psychic processes. Then we'll contemplate their effects on us and our lives. Are they helping us survive an unbearable reality? Or distancing us from ourselves and from creating the world we want to see?
Fundraising exhibition My tent became my shelter
The project "My tent became my shelter" is a charity project, with all proceeds going directly to the artists from Palestine who created the graphics. It was created on the basis of a project by the Belgian collective "Flyers for Falastin," which uses graphic art from around the world to raise awareness about the ongoing genocide in Palestine by Israel. By purchasing these posters, you will directly support the artists whose prints you buy. Each of them set the terms of cooperation in a way that was comfortable for them. Each graphic includes text, sharing, thoughts, and the artists' biographies. Through the text, they want to reach users not only with their graphics but also with their words.
Urban Disobedience Toolkit
FThe changing dynamic of public space in big cities, and ways to change that, is the topic of the movie Urban Disobedience Toolkit. It shows how art can inspire people to take back their cities and change their surroundings.
Using art projects and performative lectures, the film shows ways to "take back the city". A mixture of art interventions make waves under the guidance of director Vladimír Turne, who has bern active in public space artistry for almost two decades. Art is not to be a decoration but a radical intervention and power motor, fighting the conservative technocratic view of the world.
Rhythms of Resistance:
Drumming workshop
Drumming at demonstrations, an action-packed pink band making noise in the streets — this is RoR (Rhythms of Resistance). We support the unheard with clamor and uproar in public spaces. Come to our workshop and drum with us!
Demystifying the Hungarian political scene from an anarchist perspective (in English)
The Hungarian political scene is not so widely reported on, other than a few outlying cases. Everybody knows Viktor Orbán and his "opponent" Péter Magyar, but not so much about the daily reality of the Hungarian working class - is housing affordable in Hungary? Are there any unions? What about the Pride ban? What about the anarchist and leftist scene? If you would like to know more about the situation in Hungary, come to the presentation of two anarchists from Budapest! After the presentation, feel free to come and talk to us!
Tuke.TV screening

Since last year, it has also been organizing the Roma film festival Tu+kino. Members of Tuke.TV will screen their recent work.
"Anti-facial recognition" workshop
In this workshop, we’ll first explain how it works and then use face paints to try to “break” our faces so that facial recognition programs won’t detect them. We’ve got paints. And glitter too :)
(If you have any makeup at home that could be useful, bring it along—the more colors, the more possibilities!)
We’ll then take photos of our creations and see how successful we were.
Kundy crew:
Radical Embroidery Workshop
The group Kundy Crew sharply and humorously comments on sexism, homophobia, and xenophobia—not only in Slovakia—through their deliberately folklore-styled cross-stitch embroidery. In the radical embroidery workshop, you’ll learn not only the cross-stitch technique but also why patriarchy and capitalism are bullshit.
