Rote Fabrik's CLUBBÜRO
CLUBBÜRO is a department of Zürich's alternative cultural center Rote Fabrik. It's mission is making the social and artistic value of contemporary club culture visible through low-threshold access to alternative electronic music. With an annual programme of third-party and in-house events, the theme of club culture is approached in different ways and moments of diversity, participation and inclusion are created. CLUBBÜRO focuses on the field of alternative electronic music and club culture. This includes the currents of club culture that testify to quality and stand for character, the will to innovate, social empowerment and DIY spirit. Three levels of action are hereby in the foreground: Next Generation (promotion of young people's ideas) / Experiment and Niche (artistic avant-garde) / socio-political engagement (activism, solidarity, new organizational initiatives).
