Squatters have often been vilified by the mainstream media and most people don’t know very much about them. Cornelia Falknäs paints a portrait of a building and a community – together they are one of London’s longest-running squats.
This long read takes you inside the squat. Formerly an office block, it is now filled with art and is home to more than 30 people.
Their different perspectives offer insight into London’s contemporary squatting scene as well as the radical underground movement that challenges the status quo. With their stories about community, activism, art and creativity, the interviewees show that squatting is different from the negative stereotypes.
