DESCRIPTION:Barcelona has been a site of squatting and community building for several 
 decades, and has been especially influential in recent years. In 2009 it 
 was the birthplace of Spain's PAH (Movement for People Affected by 
 Mortgages), which pursues direct action to stop evictions and secure 
 housing rights. Out of the 2011 "Indignados" movement came Can Batlló, an 
 autonomous community workspace in the city's Sants district, which was the 
 site of an abandoned factory planned for development. Activists took over 
 this space and have transformed it and held it for four years, building on 
 earlier projects such as the residential community of Can Vies. This year 
 has seen the recuperation of el Ateneo Enciclopedico Popular, a historical 
 free cultural center in the Raval District. Iban Ek and Aina Gallego are 
 longtime Barcelona activists who will discuss these projects and the 
 culture of community that has created them.\n
