Making Room. Cultural Production in Occupied Spaces

Making Room: Cultural Production in Occupied Spaces is an anthology of texts on art, media and aesthetic practice in the context of squatting, occupation and urban space activism. It includes pieces by activist researchers working between the academy and the movements they write about, journalistic first-person narratives by squatters, original photpgraphy and interviews with artists, theorists and activists involved struggles over urban space and creative production in the city. Focused primarily on the Europe and international contexts relating to it, this diverse collection material is organized into sections by country so as to amplify the disjunction between different voices and frames of reference. While many of these voices assert accounts of a cohesive, international squatter movement or are committed to specific political projects the anthology, when taken as a whole, tells a more complex story about constellations of movements and practices intensely engaged with local conditions that have developed — sometimes independently, sometimes in dialog with one another — as people have struggled to survive, express themselves, carve out zones of autonomy and resistance, and push back against to dominance of capitalism in the city. In this, “cultural production” appears in a variety of forms ranging from conventional art practices, to the organizing of communities and networks, to the production of media and setting up of information systems. Likewise, squats, occupations and social centers are figured as art projects themselves, housing and workspaces for artists or, most significantly, constituent parts of an alternative infrastructure for the autonomous production of knowledge, discourse, and aesthetics.
Making Room includes stories of the squatter movement in Germany both in the 1980s and ‘90s as the Cold War was ending and Neoliberalism taking shape, and in its contemporary manifestations as resistance to gentrification and struggles for housing and the inclusion of migrants. In Northern Europe it recounts episodes in the emergence of the militant autonomism from the softer counterculture of the 1960s and ‘70s as struggles hardened and utopian exuberance faded in the face of the consolidation of global capitalism and was replaced by grim, determined holding actions. In Italy the housing struggles and social centers movement of the 1980s is appears as a more popular and pragmatic revival of activism following the decimation of radical left in the in the dark years of the anni di piombo. This revival, has the found new resonance in the resurgence of squatting in Italy and the occupation and debt resistance movement in Spain that have taken much inspiration from it. Other texts in the anthology recount struggles to define the role of creativity in defining cities as post-industrial urban economies, organized around knowledge work and affective labor have become common in Western Europe and North America and gentrification has replace urban decay as a primary problem. Finally, another narrative thread runs through the anthology that traces a history of radical media from the underground printing and publishing practices of the 1960’s and ‘70s through the proliferation of pirate radio and television projects and into contemporary hacker and internet activist culture.
