Mess Hall runs on the generosity of those who use it. This allows us to provide everything for free - from food and drinks to workshops and events. Please bring things to share with others.

Workshops - It is important to us to share knowledge and build up a culture of participation, access, and empowerment rather than of competition, intellectual property, and proprietary information.

Printed material - we have a library of publications from all over the world that are available for visitors' perusal.

Mess Hall is a place for visual culture, creative urbanism, sustainable ecology, food democracy, radical politics, and cultural experimentation. We are networked with other intiatives like ours in Chicago, the U.S. and abroad.
