The fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 is known around the world as marking the triumph of the West and the fall of communism. However, when we zoom into the neighborhoods surrounding this infamous concrete structure, we see a different story... of radical young people who squatted empty buildings to explore alternatives to capitalism,&nbsp;express queer identities, and claim agency in a time of massive global change. With the help of a dynamic cast of former squatters, punks, and dreamers, Maya Justine Green integrates academic theory and personal narrative to tell a story of what people built for themselves in a city's "empty" spaces — and what it might teach us about how to navigate the world’s current crises.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
