Artists, squatting and undercutting gentrification in Amsterdam

A conversation on Free City Radio with Ivo Schmetz a long time squatter, housing rights activist and community organizer in Amsterdam. Ivo works with many projects in Amsterdam, including OT301. In this interview Ivo speaks about the ways that collective squatting actions that challenge the supremacy of the neoliberal city and conceptions of real-estate can work to fundamentally shift a city like Amsterdam and fundamentally change the lives of those involved.
