WORLD WORLDWIDE EUROPE ITALY - news journal UPDATE - (en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova #18-26 - Anti-psychiatry and solidarity. ConTatto: June 5, 6, and 7, a three-day meeting in Milan (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Three days of meetings, music, art, theater, debates, resistance, and collective participation: Brigata Basaglia's three days of counterculture. ---- "ConTatto" returns on June 5, 6, and 7, 2026, at Lock in Milan with a program spanning themes such as mental health, anti-repression, neurodivergence, and the fight against all forms of exclusion and institutionalization. ---- Brigata Basaglia is a social, political, and cultural organization born from the need to build spaces of mutualism, solidarity, and self-determination. Inspired by the radical legacy of Franco Basaglia and his anti-mental asylum struggles, it advances collective practices against marginalization, repression, and the new forms of social control that still affect those considered "outside the norm."

"ConTatto" aims to be an open and confrontational place where people can meet, discuss, and imagine real alternatives to systems of exclusion. A festival that focuses on mutual care, freedom, and the right of every person to exist without being repressed, pathologized, or locked up.
The three days will feature concerts, performances, workshops, convivial moments, book presentations, and discussion panels dedicated to mental health, neurodivergence, prison, institutional violence, political repression, and new forms of mental hospitalization. Artists, activists, cultural workers, and local organizations committed to building practices of resistance, social self-defense, and collective liberation will participate.
"ConTatto" is a laboratory, a social counterculture workshop, a space for encounter, conflict, and transformation. A collective experience of listening, anger, creativity, and the desire for change, where culture and criticism become tools of struggle and concrete possibilities for building freer, more supportive, and more human relationships.
We look forward to seeing you, dismantling some cages and having fun together: Basaglia Brigade "ConTatto" - June 5, 6, and 7, 2026 - at Lock, Via San Faustino 62, Milan.
Against every cage, against every stigma, against every total institution.

Basaglia Brigade
