Samenvatting
As was mentioned in the previous report concerning the eviction of ADM (Dalakoglou 2018), the ADM community is one of the last examples of the vanishing socio-cultural minority of Amsterdam squatters and their unique and endangered free-spaces (vrijplats), DIY culture and material culture. The general cultural and artistic production of the squatter communities has been a determinant for the identity, history and character of the entire city between the 1960s and 2010. The political, social and cultural contribution of squatters to the life and the history of Amsterdam cannot be stressed enough, however, since 2010 when squatting was criminalised by the Dutch authorities several police campaigns have systematically persecuted the community and its practices and the size of the group has decreased enormously. Despite all this it is not yet extinct completely and even continues to grow within specific enclaves in spite of the institutional obstacles. |
