In the frame of week of solidarity with Ukraine
Hello friends. As some of you may already know, a few activists from Dresden traveled through Ukraine last October. They networked and exchanged ideas with local groups, collectives, and individuals to learn how activism continues in times of war. The full travel report is available here: https://a-dresden.org/en/2025/12/23/meeting-anarchists-at-war-a-fairly-long-report-on-our-solidarity-trip-to-ukraine/
In Kyiv, they also visited a small anti-fascist gym. It offers Muay Thai and kickboxing training for anti-fascists, anti-authoritarians, queer people, and anyone else still living in the city.
What’s particularly cool about this gym is that it is completely self-organized and doesn’t even charge membership fees, but is financed by voluntary donations. In addition, they also make their space available for lectures and other events. We experienced the gym as a very important reference point for the anarchist and antifascist scene in Kyiv.
Due to the war, people are constantly leaving the city for various reasons, so there is currently no stable group of people who can donate to pay the rent. Since the space still costs around €400 per month, the gym is currently in a very difficult situation. To actively contribute to preserving the space, we want to hold a solidarity event at malobeo to collect donations for the gym. Here’s what’s on offer:
- A slideshow of pictures from the trip through Ukraine
- Solidarity cocktails made from kvass
- Küfa
- An auction
- Postcards with motifs from Ukraine at a solidarity price
- An exhibition of pictures from the trip (also available for purchase)
The event will take place on February 17, 2026, at malobeo (Kamenzer Str. 36, 01099 Dresden) starting at 7 p.m. Before that, starting at 4 p.m., there will be a clothing swap at malobeo, so feel free to come by.
