Documentary film: Fight for non-commercial spaces in Zurich
The parking lot at Letten had to fight for a lease for years, the Zentralwäscherei describes itself as "broke" and the Koch Areal is history - the uncommercial cultural spaces in Zurich are fighting for their survival. We asked the places where we meet up with our friends, get creative or simply go out to party: What's going wrong?

REORIENTATION PROCESS
We want a breath of fresh air! When structures no longer work, they need change. That's why we are currently undergoing a reorganisation process and want to open up space for new people, ideas and collectives to take over the management, operation and responsibility of the Park Platz Areal in the future.
The OPEN CALL submission deadline has passed, but please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
We are now in the process, you will find out how things will continue here soon.
Our principles
Park Platz is a meeting place for people of all backgrounds, ages and genders.
Discrimination, sexism, nationalism and racism are out of place.
A place of mutual respect and encounters at eye level.
A space for discussion and exchange, as well as independent and critical thinking.
It thrives on personal responsibility and self-initiative - and strives for consensus-based decision-making processes.
It is also a non-commercial place that does not aim to maximize profits.
