The Sky High Over Our Heads Is Ours!

Why are so many houses in Prague unnecessarily falling into disrepair, when thousands of people have nowhere to live or are crammed in lodging houses? Under what circumstances should the state have the right to expropriate property? What in practice does the phrase "ownership obliges" listed in the Charter of Fundamental Rights and Freedoms actually mean? The exhibition of the New Eternity group, entitled The Sky High Above Our Heads Is Ours! is trying to address these questions.
The exhibition symbolically illustrating the development of squatting movement in Prague from the nineties to the present commemorates the seven key properties that the authors of the New Eternity group see as milestones of local squatting movement. Among them we find the now legendary squats or Ladronka and Milada, but also cases of one-day occupation (Albertov, Pohořelec, Washington Street) and currently still a hot case (Autonomous Social Centre Klinika, squat Cibulka).
The opening will take place at squat Cibulka, Košíře Prague 5.
