Calling All Squatters! - Old and New
homemade - 23.05.2011 19:35
Got any positive, funny or random stories from your squatting experiences?
We're putting together an exhibition and zine with positive squatting stories to contradict and show the other side to squatting, to the one regurgitated again and again by the mainstream media.
Wherever you squatted, be it Brixton or Kurdistan, or whether you squat now or you did in the 70s, any positive stories are welcomed – the more varied in time & place the better. Some of the stories we have so far include from after the second world war when families took refuge by squatting abandoned army barracks, as so many homes had be bombed in the blitz, as well as some stories of how newly arrived Asian families to Britain gave up the council housing they had received to squat together in empty estates to avoid the racial abuse they were suffering.
Your stories don't have to be this extreme though, anything that is positive, funny or in some way a success of managing to stick it up to the landlords or a successful use of squatting for a protest or campaign, is very much welcomed. The stories don't have to be your own experiences but can be ones of friends, or ones you've heard, just so long as they are true.
Any good pictures you might have that can accompany the stories would be brilliant too. Also, if you have pictures of transformations you've made turning a destroyed building into a beautiful home, they would also be really appreciated. Of course you can be completely anonymous from anything you contribute.

Some people from the Dutch squatting scene did something similar a while ago, before the squatting ban, to convince people not to vote for it. It was called 'Witboek Kraken', this might be useful to check out!

Oi is you wish contributions for a project, what about linking to a site and not a flyer on a general free document site.
A flyer and no site. Nothing interesting.
Which city or collective?
That site is not your own all can post documents for free.
