"Having a place, a venue, a local or social centre, somewhere you and yours can feel at home and surrounded by kindred spirits is a powerful thing. Where you can work, inspire, create or kick back, chat or meditate, a place to host events and fundraisers … a solid base, foundation or safes pace can be vital to maintaining a community. It’s not something easy to achieve in a period of history where many people either exist online or are spread out geographically away from hubs of social activity.
So it’s incredibly useful to know what can be done and it’s nice to know how people have achieved, tried and even failed to create communities in the past. In the 1970s and 1980s in Britain there was a new form of activism that branched off from musical culture, i.e. from punk, that looked for an authenticity beyond the punk posture.
Along with it came an interest in anarchism and new, social ways of living with each other and our environment. It’s an important and often obscured part of our social history."
