Inside the Most Notorious 'Caravan Cities' in the UK - Unseen Exclusive
Jamez Barrett 🜃 ॐ ⒶTable Bed Chair is a documentary about the squatter scene of Amsterdam. The film combines insights into the history of the squatter movement and its particularly well developed autonomous structures and practices with a focus on the extraordinary legal situation in the Netherlands.
"Squatting is taking over an empty house, basically." With this statement, cool and precise at once, the viewer is introduced to the world of the 'krakers', as Amsterdam's squatters are called.
Table Bed Chair sketches a documentary portrait of the movement by inquiring into ideological approaches and real-world alternatives to existing social structures. Explosive archival footage traces the historical roots of the movement to its climax in the volatile years of the 1980s when up to 10.000 krakers lived in squatted houses in Amsterdam.
Contrasting interviews are used to explore differing points of view on issues such as selforganisation, autonomy and ideology, as well as violence as a legitimate means in the struggle. The interviewees, all active or former squatters, speak about the lack of housing and missing alternatives. They want to use empty spaces and live the utopia of a better society outside established norms. Because of its heterogeneity the movement is exposed to internal conflicts and constantly forced to change. Laws are being tightened over the decades and the city is slowly regaining control by means of repression as well as legalisation. However, the infrastructure of the earlier movement remains largely intact.
Together with the still unsolved housing problem, this infrastructure constitutes the essential basis of today's kraker movement in Amsterdam.
The viewer watches squatting in action - the breaking of a door - and is thrust into a world which is romantically presented by the squatters as a kind of green oasis at the heart of the urban waste-land, a legal grey area in which dreams can be turned into reality. After a short, strangely civilized and almost friendly, intermezzo with the owner of the house and the police, the circle of squatter-existence is closed: A whole block of council flats with more than a hundred apartments is evicted. The voices of krakers barricaded in another house, distorted through the walkie-talkie, urge to hang on in there: "We love it! It's not the first time and probably not the last time!"

Amsterdam’s squatter wars are back – and wealthy Dutch homeowners have only themselves to blame
@yianiris Tourism, corporate or otherwise, relies on neocolonial relationships and structures within both economic and social sectors. I have long been interested in the differences between "Tourism" and "Travel", and not just the economic ones (although these are highly relevant).
I had the fortune to travel from 1996 - 2000 using precisely what you mention; "Anarcho-tourism and squat-networks". In Barcelona I stayed at Can Mireia squat in Trinitat Vella (Trini) . The building had been first occupied in 1996, after lying empty since 1982. This was my first experience of an organised and well run squat. It was a social centre as well as home to about 15 people. At this time the ground floor had not yet been occupied (it would be in October). But the top three floors were used for many things, including as a home. There was a screen printing studio in one of the rooms and we bought a t-shirt from them, printed in yellow showing a cartoon image of the squat and the words “Kan Mireia” “casa de amigos” (House of Friends) printed on it.
I went on to live in squats in Amsterdam for a year, and stayed in squats in Berlin too in 1998. It was a beautiful system that really helped people and preserved local culture and autonomy.

So anxiously waiting for bailiffs is overt in the zeitgeist...
But so is spending £100 on noise-cancelling headphones?
I just found a pair in the bin!
