Founded in 1984, the Espace Noir cooperative is a self-managed cultural center located in Saint-Imier, Switzerland. The collective runs several venues and activities: a tavern, a bookstore, a 35-seat cinema, a theater/concert hall, an art gallery, and an infokiosk—all without bosses or hierarchy. Espace Noir continues its experiment, infused with a anarchist ideal. Self-management, conviviality, solidarity, internationalism, individual freedom, and responsibility are its core values. A strong sense of voluntarism is also essential, and only work at the tavern is paid. Cultural and management activities remain voluntary to this day.
The collective consists of permanent members supported by volunteers in different sectors. In keeping with the ideal of self-management, task versatility is encouraged according to each person’s interests and availability. Additionally, every collective member is invited to the weekly meeting to help organize the spaces and take part in proposals, discussions, and collective decisions.
