Kaymakkin (Space)
Social space Kaymakkin (sometimes written as Kaymakκιν) is a social space located in the old Kaimakli neighbourhood of Nicosia. It initially opened as the hangout space of the Syspirosi Atakton group and subsequently developed its own autonomous assembly and management. As a space, it has hosted collective kitchens, screenings, public and closed discussions, as well as assemblies of various groups and initiatives.
Space Identity
Kaymakκιν, located in the old neighbourhood of Kaymakli*, is an attempt to create a common space, open to individuals and groups aiming for political, social, and cultural intervention. It is the outcome of the realisation of the need for a space where we can spread and exchange ideas, form networks and interact in Nicosia. It is a self-managed space, and its operation relies on self-organisation and collective action. Kaymakκιν is managed by an assembly of individuals and collectives through direct democratic and horizontal organisational structures and consensus decision-making processes. Against the dominant rationale of hierarchy and the exercise of power “from above”, against capitalism and neoliberalism, we organize outside a commercial framework and the logic of profit.1)
