Underground Uppsala?

August 16, 2012 9:40 AM

Where do all the weirdos hang out in Uppsala? What are the good punk/metal/jazz/whatever venues? Are there any social centers/autonomous spaces/hacker spaces? Which organizations are dealing with leftist politics? Are there any cooperatives? ETC!

I'm moving to Uppsala and need help.

I also asked a similar question about Oslo

I had some Swedish friends in England who I think where living in a co-operative in Uppsala but I don't have any details (we lived in the same social center together for a while). I couldn't find anything on squat.net which is a good place to look for social centers but I did find this: Ungdomens Hus (Youth House) which is a self run youth center (though local government funded I believe I'm correct in thinking they are similar to social centers to some degree) which might be a good place to start.

As far a politics goes there is always the SAC the Swedish syndicalist union, who have a local branch (the SAC is among the largest of its type). I I also came across this page http://anarkisterna.com/lankar/(in Swedish) which seems to have a good set of links.
