In the south of Amsterdam, squatters have moved into an empty building on Honthorststraat. It belongs to the Russian government and had been unused for a long time. The four-story corner building once housed a Russian tourist office. 😎🏖️
The squatters call themselves international artists who can’t afford housing. In a letter to neighbors, they explain they are from countries like Russia and Ukraine. They believe it’s wrong for such a large building to stay empty. 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 ☮️
The building is known for its location and history. The action has drawn attention from passersby. Tourists can spot it by the posters and signs in the windows, and by the beautiful artworks.🪟🪟🪟
