On Sunday, February 19 squatter took the young team from Brno, his first symbolic action,
during which he drew attention to the deteriorating Working House in the Federal Street.
The building was put up banners reading "Empty houses, dead city", "falling into disrepair
because of speculation since 2004" and "occupy and live." ---- House, who played already
at the end of the 19th century an important role in shaping the labor movement (in 1899
became the center of 12 000 workers striking for shorter working hours) and in 1989 became
a haven Brno club scene, 2004 was declared a cultural monument. Currently, however
dilapidated, owned by the butler, who has ties to the notorious company BYTASEN associated
with the misappropriation of € 119 million from the budget of the district. After the
company failed to abolish the statute butler cultural relics, leaving the Worker's House
(probably intentionally) decay.
We symbolically occupied the house and at least a few hours we are devastated to his wall
and brought life again. After vegan dinner was followed by a cultural program in the form
of custom music production and recorded, and a light show. However, the goal was not
superficially fun, but pointing out the fact that while in Brno there is a housing crisis
and hunger for spaces for alternative culture in the heart of greedy speculators leave
deteriorate throughout the homes, which could further serve all city residents.
