*Occupation Culture*

MAYDAY ROOMS: http://maydayrooms.org/event/occupation-culture/
88 Fleet Street, London EC4Y 1DH, United Kingdom

How has squatting contributed to the production of art and culture? 
During times where the cost of rent and living rises well beyond the 
ability of cultural workers to support themselves in the metropolis, 
squatting has played an important role in making possible the continued 
existence of autonomous art and culture.

Come and join us for this daylong event that will seek together to bring 
materials and experiences of how occupations and squatting have 
contributed to the production of autonomous culture. From social centres 
to free schools, temporary galleries to combined studios and living 
spaces, we invite people to bring along materials from your projects 
that explore these questions and connections.

We will be joined by historian and activist Alan W. Moore, who has been 
working on setting up and documenting these spaces and practices for 
almost forty years. We will start with an informal lunch and sharing of 
food, spending the afternoon working through and discussing materials 
that are brought, and then in the early evening Alan will present his 
new book on the subject, Occupation Culture: Art & Squatting in the City 
from Below, and the recent anthology Making Room: Cultural Production in 
Occupied Spaces.
