User:Tash/Special Issue 04
Our first Special Issue is a publication about the Poortgebouw, inspired by the collective's own Autonomous Archive.
Extract from our Special Issue 04 website: A Bed, A Chair and a Table is a publication about a former squat and vibrant living community in the South of Rotterdam. In this book, oral histories from inside and outside the Poortgebouw are interlaced with material from various institutional and personal archives. By bringing together tales of resilience, political struggle, frustration and friendship with historical documents, we bring forward new perspectives about the Poortgebouw's history and its importance in the contemporary city.
