In this roundtable, collectives and cooperatives from different parts of Europe (many of whom are involved with BAK, basis voor actuele kunst through various projects and initiatives) discuss their work before Covid-19, and outline how organizing priorities and formations have shifted in the moment, and might for the time to come. The event is also a space to compare strategies and shortfalls, and imagine the strengthening coordination of local solidarity networks within Europe and beyond borders.
