SAVE OUR SPACES: Prosfygika Fundraiser Gig
Advertisement
In The Squatted Community of προσφυγικα (Prosfygika), comradeship, communal property, solidarity, mutual aid, and collective care are not just empty words but a lived practice in everyday reality.
It has existed as a unique self-administered and liberated neighbourhood in the heart of Athens for 16 years. In its 8 building blocks, 400 inhabitants from 27 different countries, speaking 20 different languages, with different religions, ideologies, ages, and backgrounds, not only live but struggle and organise together. Prosfygika is a striking example of a place where the universal struggle for justice, dignity and self-determination has materialised.
Today, the community stands in direct opposition to the Greek state’s “redevelopment” plan, which seeks to displace its inhabitants and repurpose the prime urban space in central Athens as part of their broader gentrification effort. The community has proposed its own phased renovation plan that would allow all residents to remain on site and for the historic building to be safely preserved and renovated. We ask for your solidarity and financial support to continue with collective works and support for its defence.
OUR COMMON LANGUAGE IS RESISTANCE!
OUR ANSWER TO REPRESSION IS CREATION!
