Keeping Occupied - six months on the squatted Ocean Estate

09-11-2009 22:21

One of the blocks - this one was about 70% squatted at one point.

I already knew it was political to a point, and I had started writing up action reports and articles on the place I’ve lived for the half a year several times, but it always fell apart after a few lines because it felt too personal to express properly. Now that all of the events are in the past, I’ll try and record it in an intentionally personal manner – it is better to have any record at all than none.

09-11-2009 21:20

World leaders and activists are preparing to descend on Copenhagen to discuss climate change, but have we fully understood its structural causes?
