During the Kunsttage Basel at the kHaus, SOFT SPACE invites you to simply do nothing for a moment and offers space for collective lying around, slowing down and pausing.

What if taking a break is not laziness, but a political necessity?

What happens when we don't have to work?

When we simply are?

And who can even afford to take a break?

"Take a Break" sees itself as a pause button in everyday life, as an attempt to rest together. SOFT SPACE invites you to simply do nothing for a moment and offers space for collectively lying around, slowing down and pausing.

A quiet zone for everyone. A space for encounters - with yourself.

No goal. No output. Just space. Just time. Just be.

SOFT SPACE is a space for experiments and ideas. Since 2023, a cultural space has been growing at Clarastrasse 50 in Basel, where collaborations, friendships and experimentation take center stage. We understand the word SOFT as deceleration, as an alternative to a performance-oriented and fast-paced society. In the meantime, SOFT SPACE has developed into a hub for various projects and people - a place that wants to create space to simply get started and let the unfinished (emerge).

"Because we are convinced that (collective) processes in a well-meaning community are the basis for daring to take courageous and vulnerable steps. These supposedly small steps can achieve great things."
