CiTiZEN KiNO is a Berlin-based series of events to inspire collective intelligence and new forms of arts + praxis. A hybrid of film, internet, theater, hacker culture and public forum to analyze and strategize around urgent social issues. Currently on tour in the US.

Episode #42 is “The Occupied Territories” – alternative routes in the fight for housing and autonomy.

In today’s neo-liberal commodification of Everything, housing has become the most vicious and predatory marketplace. To settle in any major city around the world, one must submit to the rule of property owners who will frequently extract the lion’s share of hard-earned income. And for those who live in precarious situations and economic instabilty, one is perpetually subject to a form of economic terrorism. Pay up, or survive in the streets !

Shelter is a human right! And to establish any kind of self-determination and dignity in a city existence, we must ultimately be the masters or co-creators of our inhabited space, or else we remain subject to new parasitic and colonial contexts. The rules of this game are deeply entrenched in the current operating systems, and it is not an easy road from the here+now to full autonomy and liberated communities. But clearly this is a root matter in reclaiming the power to establish new structures for living beyond the feeding frenzies.

In this episode, we’ll explore a variety of longhaul paths to get there. From the historic battles for squat culture in Europe in places like Berlin, Netherlands, Spain and Denmark to the experimental fringes of urban renewal in places like Detroit.

w/ Special guests including Kt Andresky co-founder of The Yes Farm, and Cindy Milstein from Station 40.

FEEDBACK, edit suggestions and additions MOST WELCOME !

ADDED: Here’s our pirate pad link ( * this link may be down ! ) for contributing media and ideas, coming soon ! ( Actually this is from CK#41 Occupied Territories Part 1 in Nov. 2014, but no reason to set up a new page. And we will use resources from part 1 for part 2, many clips, which we obviously had no time to use in one show )

NOTE: piratepad link may be down. We will attempt to reconstruct the resources list and post on this blogpage below. coming soon.

An excellent resource, Thx PM PRESS and all the contributors…

If you happen to be in Netherlands this weekend, coincidentally one of the editors of the book will be speaking at the always lovely and tactical 2DH5 conference, this year in Utrecht !

In solidarity !

Speaking of which, have a fun listen here. Ton Steine Scherben 1971 :

it’s not the lack of time
it’s not the lack of energy
it’s not about the money
it’s not the lack of power

everything that we want, we can get
when we want, all the talk will go silent.
we’re not afraid to fight
when the goal is freedom

the only thing left we need
is the solidarity

it’s not the lack of hope
it’s not that there’s no boat
it’s not the lack of energy
it’s not that there’s no boat

the only thing left we need
is the solidarity

From the band that made some of the best political music in Germany. Still inspires the autonomous movements today, and who played a central role in the occupation of the Rauch Haus ( named after Georg Von Rauch a militant activist who was killed by police ) which still exists today.

HACKBASES: Hackerspaces, but not just “third places” ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place )
Hackers are celebrated as the avantgarde of technology and hackerspaces as their awesome labs. But the reality is that all these technologist are still renting appartments, and working full-time jobs to be able to pay them + the car to commute to work.

Hackbases are about enabling full use of the hacker class creative potential.
