Occupations - round two

The last program might have been a surprise to some of you here in Luxembourg waiting for a small report on what is happening in more active places such as Copenhagen and Hamburg that I wasn't able to deliver.

I at that time found out some very disturbing news, no computers seemed to work for me to edit on and I was indeed very tired by that point so I planned to send the following recoding to Luxembourg instead which I finally got the sense not to do. Still funny though and you can hear it now here:

Sad recording from Hamburg by Voluntarian

The program on Monday will deliver some good ear candy to all y'all dreamers and believers that such a thing as a free space can happen here in Luxembourg. Check it out at http://ara.lu/listen on Monday the 12th of September at 2PM.

From the last description of the program:

"just to give an idea of what people can do if left to their own I also interviewed people in Makvärket, a former abandoned ceramics factory 70 km outside Copenhagen that is now under use by a small group of young people that self organise to create workshops and concert halls. More on the place can be found here: http://makvaerket.wordpress.com but also on http://www.wwoof.dk/ and http://www.helpx.net/

During the Markvaget interview I mention the Ecological InspirationHouse in Copenhagen and also the work of Flemming Abrahamson both of which you can find out more about at the following links:

As an unexpected bonus there will be a feature from the Gangeviertel, a squated center in the center of Hamburg that managed to stay open for two years so far. http://das-gaengeviertel.info/

 

There is also a short interview with an indigenous inhabitant of the region of Brazil where a corporation is planning their own sort of occupation through which to destroy a huge affluent of the Amazon. Of the dangers of this project more in the program.

I am also on my way to Rosia Montana for the Reclaim the Fields Camp there between the 21st and 30th of September during which time I hope to record the different alternatives and the real public oppionion to such a monstruous perspective as having 4 mountains dug out for gold. On it more in my previous post here:

But you can just join the camp there on which you can find more info here: http://reclaimthefields.org

Addi! Au revoir! La revedere!
