On October 9th, 2015, Atlantide–one of the very few remaining autonomous and self-managed (autogestito) social spaces in Italy–was forcibly evicted from Porta Santo Stefano, its home of 17 years. Atlantide inhabited one of the historic gates to the medieval city of Bologna, which is home to the oldest university in the so-called Western World.
Altantide was certainly the oldest trans*-feminist-queer and punk space of its kind. It was the last such space in the central city of Bologna, which was once filled with self-managed social spaces. The city is increasingly filled with empty spaces and failed state and private projects.
Atlantide takes its name from the mythical lost city of Atlantis. Today, it is clear that some want us to drown. Instead, with your solidarity, they will make us overflow. Our campaign of resistance to both this specific act of repression and the general atmosphere that supports it is shorthanded as #AtlantideOvunque: Atlantide Everywhere.
We are asking academics, researchers, and queer knowledge producers in Italy and around the world to support Atlantide in our search for a new home by signing this statement of solidarity in the comments section below. In addition to the required fields of name and e-mail, please write your name, affiliation (if any), and any additional comments or reflections in the “commento” box!
You might also take a photo of yourself, your department, your reading group etc. with a sign reading #AtlantideOvunque. (Even better in front of an abandoned or gentrified building or queer spot in your city or town!) You can post these photos on our Facebook page, Atlantide R-esiste. You can also share this statement and ask peers, friends, and colleagues to sign!
You will find another petition for Atlantide–”The Butterfly Effect”–here. (In Italian only). For other statements of solidarity or questions please write atlantideresiste [at] gmail [dot] com
+++===+++
Since 1998, the different collectives of Atlantide have produced an enormous variety knowledge, culture, art, and political practices. All of this remains–and will remain–utterly uncommodified and non-institutionalized. This work has been and is being produced by the very people who require it to survive and to thrive.
As anyone working in the contemporary neoliberal university knows all too well, creating and maintaining spaces for the production of radical knowledges and political practices continuously risks normalization and appropriation. Atlantide has powerfully resisted both for 17 years.
In many countries–perhaps especially the UK, US, Canada, and Australia–grassroots activist movements have been institutionalized as so many ‘minority’ studies programs and departments. While such institutionalizations are important forms of recognition, this all too often demands a sacrifice of self-determination on the part of those who work or study in such programs or departments and also risks the exploitation and normalization of those who continue to struggle outside of–or within and against–the institution.
By contrast, Italy’s trans*-feminist-queer movements have, for reasons clear to anyone with a knowledge of feminist and autonomous social movements more generally, remained largely outside the institutional space of the University. There are no degree granting feminist, women’s studies, queer or trans* studies programs or departments anywhere in Italy. Virtuous or not, this context is the basis from which Atlantide has created its practice and its theory.
Altantide is a transnationally recognized point of reference for those trans*-feminist-queer scholars, activists, and networks who struggle to maintain an interdisciplinary approach to knowledge production alongside an intersectional approach to politics. Over the years, we have resisted and contrasted: Violence against women and trans* people; homophobia and homophobic violence; right-wing, pro-life, and anti-‘gender theory’ Catholic/Christian groups; The Israeli occupation of Palestine, pinkwashing, and homonationalism; neoliberalism, austerity and precarity.
We have also created, sustained, and theorized a variety of practical alternatives to such oppressions, often as part of inter-/trans-/anti-national networks. Our creative work has encompassed: Post-pornography and alternative kinship; grassroots welfare; a self-managed, community-based and de-medicalized approach to healthcare; providing space and support (and an audience!) for non-institutional artists, festivals, and cultural producers; a queer approach to anti-fascism and anti-racism; auto-production of published, digital and printed material, which forms the basis for a planned independent research/study center and archive.
As trans*-feminist-queers and punks, many of us have lived evictions from our birth families, from ‘normality’ (luckily!), and from cities and towns overrun with right-wing politics and fascists. What makes us different is that we turned this displacement inside-out: We refused suffering, refused to be silent, refused to be isolated. Instead, we persist and insist; we exist and resist. We have traveled under many banners, but one reads: “Atlantide Deve Vivere,” Atlantide Must Live. In this moment of eviction, where we once again face erasure, we ask for your solidarity.
This will help to keep us afloat.

With great concern we learned about the recent eviction of Atlantide. Atlantide was one of the few autonomous spaces still left in Italy with a long-standing reputation, where political organisation around and education on trans*-feminist-queer and punk issues took place. For the Itialian and international radical movements the evicition of Atlantide is therefore a great loss.
The University of Colour is a movement that emerged amidst the recent student uprisings in the Netherlands and at the University of Amsterdam in particular. We believe that education is a right of all, and that the neoliberal restructering of higher education endangers this right. Therefore we need to resist the neoliberal university. Furthermore, central to our politics is the vision that there is no such thing as the democratization of the university without decolonization. This means we understand the (neoliberal) university to be fundamentally engaged in colonialist practices by the way power structures within the university are currently organised, the content of the curricula and the imperialist and damaging practices the university is engaging in through its ties with a variety of global business.
Therefore we work actively to dismantle damaging and oppressive structures at the university while envisioning and creating alternatives: a University Without Borders. We organise to make the university a safe space for all free from racism, sexism, classism, ableism, queerphobia, transphobia, colonialism and imperialist practices.
The detrimental experiences of institutional oppression, social exclusion, austerity measurements and the willingness to actively create anti-oppresive spaces and education is what we recognize in Atlantide. Furthermore we acknowledge that trans* persons, feminists, queers and punks are amongst the most marginalized of today’s world. Not only for educational projects, but also for the bare survival of individuals suffering under oppression Atlantide, provided a much needed space to create and find a loving community. We, at the University of Colour, therefore express our deep solidarity with Atlantide’s struggle and encourage them to continue their important work in new and yet unknown ways.
In solidarity,
University of Colour

Atlantide propone vita, intelligenza, pensiero libero. Bologna e l’Italia hanno bisogno di questo: fare cultura significa promuovere alternative, lanciare sfide, non organizzare eventi pseudo-chic per borghesi tristi e annoiati. Davvero ipocrita sostenere che le leggi vanno applicate senza deroghe, da parte di un Partito e di una società sempre pronti a concedere ogni sorta di deroga a evasori, squadre di calcio, inquinatori, aziende, corporazioni e lobby varie. Per ora vergognatevi, ma ricordate: sarà una risata che vi seppellirà!
Scrivo il 16 ottobre, compleanno di Alessandro Zijno, collega, amico e attivista di Atlantide scomparso tre anni fa. Una persona vivissima, un’intelligenza lucida, uno spirito libero, costruttivo e realmente alternativo, nella ricerca e nella politica. Sono persone come Alessandro e realtà come Atlantide che rendono il mondo migliore, che vivono per sempre e fanno apparire i muri e chi li costruisce miseramente ridicoli.

Atlantide is a crucial space in Bologna for international cultural encounters and alternative political discussion. To close it reflects on the close mindedness and short sightedness of local politicians: the international solidarity movement that will form as a result of this eviction will surpass the strenght that Atlantide had previously and expose Bologna across national borders as a deeply unequal city, that ignores the democratic rights of its citizens.
Massimo supporto e solidarietà per Atlantide!

This collective space is a very important cultural reality for bologna and the world! Only a crazy government would leave occupied space to soccer hooligans (Ultras), and not to these important activists, artists and academics. In a national reality that does not have queer, gender, men’s or women’s studies departments at the university, atlantide provides something desperately needed by everyone, as well as solid punk concerts.

Ho vissuto 5 anni a Bologna prima di espatriare a Bruxelles. Atlantide era uno dei pochissimi spazi di vera socialità non mercificata rimasti a Bologna, un luogo aperto a tutt*, uno spazio in cui sentirsi liber* di esprimersi, di essere se stess*, uno spazio di confronto, di presa di coscienza, di resistenza, di lotta.. uno spazio fondamentale che non puo’ essere chiuso con un muro, uno spazio necessario che se negato diventa ancora più necessario e invade gli animi e poi le strade e la città e la rete internazionale.. alimentato dalla rabbia e dalla solidarietà di chiunque sostenga Atlantide, perchè Atlantide puo’ essere chiunque, Atlantide è ovunque !

Atlantide era uno spazio unico nel suo genere. Un posto per pensare, apprendere, cambiare, crescere. Un luogo animato da collettivi che, attraverso una passione viscerale per la politica, hanno finalmente dato un’identità ad un luogo abbandonato a se stesso. Bologna non può permettersi di perdere l’esperienza accumulata da Atlantide negli ultimi 17 anni. Ripensateci finché siete in tempo, altrimenti sarà AtlantideOvunque!

Non ci “murerete”, Atlantide siamo tutt* noi!
Atlantide è stata sgomberata e murata! Riferimento bolognese, e non solo, della cittadinanza gay, lesbica, trans, queer, femminista è, era non lo diremo mai, uno spazio autogestito dal 1999 luogo di un’elaborazione politica dal basso che accomuna soggettività diverse nelle pratiche del partire da sé e dalle sessualità, per strutturare una critica dell’esistente e lavorare per un mondo migliore, altro e possibile (citiamo).
In piazza di Porta Santo Stefano 6, all’alba del 9 ottobre, la polizia ha effettuato uno sgombero in nome della “legalità”(?). Pesantissime le dichiarazioni del sindaco che parla di non cedere a pressioni di una fantomatica “lobby gay”…più o meno come quella del “gender”.
Come femministe e come “Collettiva” indipendente esprimiamo la nostra vicinanza e solidarietà al Collettivo di Atlantide “sbattuto fuori” dopo una lunga stagione di lotte e di occupazione. A tutte quelle realtà che fanno un lavoro politico e sociale importante opposto alle privatizzazioni tanto care a questo regime contrario agli spazi liberi e autogestiti ma che non riusciranno a trasformare in ciò che non vogliono essere: servi di chi può garantire soldi pubblici e convenzioni.
Atlantide deborderà invadendo non solo Bologna, non cancellerete questa esperienza che è in relazione con una miriade di altre realtà libere. …la resistenza continuerà.
Ricordate: Atlantide sarà ovunque!
