How did nuns in the Steinenkloster alleviate menstrual discomfort? Where is the oldest pharmacy in Basel located? How do racism, sexism, and class continue to shape medical knowledge today? Discover how activists in recent decades have addressed gaps in the healthcare system, whether in the ‘Schliimgrüppli’ or the first residential home for people with AIDS. From ancient pharmaceutical knowledge and medieval monastery gardens to “hysterical women” and the development of modern hospitals in the 19th century, we explore who created medical knowledge and who had access to it.

The traces of colonialism are still visible in Basel today. Basel was a transit point for emigration to the colonies. Patrician families became richer through the trade in colonial goods and enslaved people. On the city tour, you will learn not only about the colonial entanglements, but also about how these characterize Basel today. We look at current issues in a historical context: Should Basel return cultural heritage? To what extent are adverts by aid organizations racist? What does the image of Switzerland have to do with colonialism?

This tour includes stairs, inclines, tram tracks, curbs and cobblestones.

Public performance by Performing Rage Collective

September 8, 20:00–21:15pm
Kollegienhaus, Foyer & Verso

How good are you at being angry?
Are you boiling of rage – or barley feel a flicker?
And what if your anger were an animal living in your belly?

At the intersection of performance and workshop, hundredeighty invites you to explore your own anger. The workshop facilitators – don’t worry, they don’t bite – will guide you gently and safely through shared exercises and moments of watching. You’re welcome to join in or simply observe.

Protest-fueled instructions, performative outbursts of rage, and fiery releases of hot air take you deep into the core of your anger. It tightens, pulses, cracks, and whistles. Deep in the nervous system, the warning signs emerge – as does the urgency of resistance. Anger is a relentless force, pushing us to question the status quo and rise up. One thing is certain: there 
are more than enough reasons to be angry!

The Performing Rage Collective works collectively and transdisciplinary to explore anger, gender, and empowerment through performance. Embodied approaches and individual experiences are central to their practice. The collective was founded in 2022 by Arina Frölich as part of their master’s thesis in Gender Studies at the University of Basel, with the aim of integrating artistic research methods into her academic work. To realize the collectives’ artistic projects, they founded the association Muassdassi, which is dedicated to make cultural and academic content accessible to the public. The association supports a wide range of events, including performances, theatre productions, workshops, discussions, lectures, and more.
