[Adam 28.03.09] Infonight & Discussion: Gentrification & MST
Autonomous Groups - 28.03.2009 13:42
Infoevening about squatting movements, in particular the MST of Brasil and Genrification locally and in a global context. Additional infos also about the squatting situation in Amsterdam with the new handling of the paragraph 429.
=>> GENTRIFICATION
What is gentrification? And why does it occur? Is gentrification just an academic concept or is the notion also of use to activists?
In this session we present some activist and academic understandings of gentrification. We investigate how gentrification evolved in the last couple of decades around the world and in Amsterdam. More specifically we want to show how the policies of the government of Amsterdam contribute to gentrification and how these policies undermine the idea of a just city. What is the role of housing corporations and private developers?
How does "splitsen" affect gentrification? The immediate goal is to arrive at a better understanding of the process of gentrification but ultimately our goal is to stop the process.
=>> MST LAND OCCUPATION MOVEMENT
The MST is the largest social movement in Latin America with an estimated 1.5 million landless members organized in 23 out of 26 states in Brazil
Join us an informational evening and short film on the MST (Landless Workers Movement of Brazil) the largest squatting and land reform movent in Latin-America
The MST is the largest social movement in Latin America with an estimated 1.5 million landless members organized in 23 out of 26 states in Brazil. The MST has squatted millions of hectares and resettled millions of families. But squatting is just the first step for the MST in developing an independent ideology that materializes in real
alternatives for a sustainable way of living for the landless and the poor to live with dignity. In the face of the Neo-liberal policies that have consumed Latin-America in the last 40 years the MST has organized millions of communities of militants that have created an international model of land reform and sustainability.
Join us for a talk and discussion on this inspiring movement.
Another World is Possible!
