Macaz is based on principles of autonomy and horizontality. We have set our own working conditions, we have been financially self-managed and, at the same time, have become a resource fostering the development, organizing and social reproduction of various grassroots politically engaged groups in and around Bucharest.
Macaz officially opened its doors on May 1st 2016 as a space dedicated to consolidating and promoting various activist scenes, autonomous initiatives and the LGBTQ+ community. Guided by anti-capitalist, anti-fascist, feminist and anti-racist principles, Macaz stands for those that otherwise couldn’t have a space of their own.
We are a group of comrades and friends that strongly believe in building self-managed labor structures, mutual support networks and free-from-profit spaces committed to social justice, radical solidarity and community organizing.
