Through the compilation of the local movement histories of eight different cities—including Amsterdam, Berlin, and other famous centers of autonomous insurgence along with underdocumented cities such as Poznan and Athens—The City Is Ours paints a broad and complex picture of Europe’s squatting and autonomous movements.

The Groene Voltage
The Groene Voltage was a squatted social centre in Rotterdam, the Netherlands from 2006 to 2007. In its brief lifetime it acted as a temporary autonomous zone, hosting many events. The Voltage was a free shop, a bar, a cafe, a film night, a hacklab, a meeting place and most of all a social hub for the radical left. This pamphlet is an account by one member of the collective looking at what the social centre accomplished and what it could have done better.
Pamphlet, 32 pages, English language, published in 2012.
