Makabra have just produced a little bit of magic, entering and occupying the old Can Ricart factory in the Pouble Nou Barrio of Barcelona, where 60 years ago the CNT trucks left from to attempt to build a better world. Now its their turn to add to the unfolding story of creativity, passion and the love of life. heres a load of audio from these amazing few days. Viva Makabra

Weaving together many strands of life here in Barcelona (community, squat, circus, political, media, humour, history, story telling) they now have a lovley new home and complete support from the ever helpful neighbours. Their struggle also has has the support of the UN commisioner for housing, who said "I think your struggle is just, what your doing is correct, I´d just request you to be peaceful.... and keep performing." Perhaps this circus world is getting bigger and bigger, who knows what it will lead to… infos: http://www.lamakabra.org http://barcelona.indymedia.org http://www.salvemcanricart.org/ wow, what a few days this is only the beginning... audio from the ocupation: _________________________________________________________________________ interviews with people about the situation; occupation, squat support from the UN, background into speculation 22@ and the Peuble Nou barrio, the community stance and support groups, what this ocupation might lead to...

a little piece of MAKABRA magic in Barcelona; toward a truly participative architecture
per dunk	06 des 2006
ola amigos im writing to you from a very special place in a very special time a profoundly creative, artistic, political, architectural act has combined to create a point in time which i believe has sparked the beginnings of a truly participative architecture to emerge and a space has been (illegaly) created to facilitate the dialogue and space for that dialogue to lead to an actual built reality. In fact that reality is being constructed and built as i write to you. This the culmination of what has for me personally been a profound but amazing quarter year architectural journey or battle, from heading to the architecutural bienalle in Venice to "confront" the architectural world (see Cities, radical urbanism, sqatting, social centres - http://radio.indymedia.org/news/2006/09/11489.php ) to meeting with my old friends from France and living with them in the french Pavillion, METAVILLA ( Onboard the (French) pirate ship METAVILLA (whats being pointed at in Venice this year? - http://easa.antville.org/stories/1478873/ ) to witnessing first hand, listening to and archiving Lucien Kroll: Moments D`Architectures (http://easa.antville.org/stories/1488710/ ) , which talked about the base of architectureand ecology (the relationship between things), to a healthier "participative bottom up" approach to architecture, planning, society instead of the present which, it was argued, leads to cities burning as we saw in Paris earlier this year in the riots, when communities, people and place are bypassed for profit. I hope that you can manage to understand this difficult situation and from that support us in this struggle. Its not only a struggle here in Pouble Nou, its about what quality of life people have in other places, its about people taking control of their lives, their communities, their space, their existence. This is the next stage in the "spiritual ecological revolution" ( http://easa.antville.org/stories/1515516/ ) which is working toward simply a healthy and sustainable existence for all. We are working with ASF (architects sans frontiers) http://www.asfit.org/it/index.php message from Manu Chao to the squatters: HOLA A TOD@S DESGRACIADAMENTE ESTOY AHORA BIEN LEJOS DE BARCELONA Y NO PUEDO ESTAR PRESENTE CON VOSOTR@S PARA PROTESTAR CONTRA EL ABSURDO DESALOJAMIENTO DE LA MAKABRA... ...QUÃ� VERGÃ�ENZA... ...QUÃ� FALTA DE CIVISMO... ...QUÃ� FALTA DE LUCIDEZ PENSANDO EN CÃ�MO TENDRÃ?A QUE DESAROLLARSE EL ARTE Y LA CULTURA EN CATALUNYA...ESTOS PRÃ�XIMOS AÃ�OS... ...DESALOJAR LA MAKABRA ES UN ACTO BRUTO Y DE AGRESIÃ�N A LA CULTURA DEL FUTURO DE ESTE PAÃ?S... ...

per el civismo	06 des 2006
Manu chao habla de falta de civismo??!! es decir, cree en las conductas cívicas, apoya las leyes del civisme que implantó el ayuntamiento. Es decir, tiene un bar y por tanto cree necesario que se controle a la gente que bebe en la calle, y a los lateros Manu chao por suerte no es ningu referente ni politico, ni social, y mucho menos artistico...por lo tanto sólo quda reirse de vuestro apoyo y no publicitarlo más que para que en el proximo botellon le dediquemos litros y litros de birras a su salut...
