| The Tale of Ungdomshuset in Denmark
Once upon a time, there was an abandoned house located somewhere far the equator. The house, with its dilapidated look and old furnishings, rests itself under a twilight world where direct sunlight is only occasional. It’s a cold place for her, but the streets and common spots that lead to her place has been used to it- they all have grown to it. Not until a number of people from different walks in life, searching meaning to their existence, found her in the middle of blazing coldness and started to inhabit her and gave her simply their warm loving hearts in exchange for a place to stay. One morning, she was gently been taken care of them, fixed her up, and was given her a name thereafter. UNGDOMSHUSET is what they call her- a simple name that signifies the exuberance of wonderful life, which is why her name translates literally as “The Youth House”. UNGDOMSHUSET who is once before shivering during cold lonely nights of winter has now become a community of loving people. Her kitchen was used to serve animal-friendly food for everyone to share. Her dining table provided a banquet for precarious Migrants and Refugees. Her living room cuddled creative people and artists alike. Her bedrooms provided the dreamers to lay their tired bodies. Everyday is a momentary happiness between her and her nameless inhabitants. Everyone loved her and she loves them back, for they kept each other warm with the reverberation of their lively beating hearts. They both became inseparable to each other, until suddenly a frightening Beast who is hungry for money came in. The Beast who has forked tongues and big red ugly eyes, with funny tiny horns on his head, wanted to sold her. UNGDOMSHUSET, as a potential money asset for the Beast, was terrorized and forced her inhabitants out from her comfort. One day, she was sprayed with poison and beaten her inhabitants during the dead of night, while everyone is tightly asleep, until they all bleed. The Beast, who wanted to sell her out, is aimed to crush the love that binds her and her inhabitants only to pursue his evil interest. But it was the love in itself, which binds them, that will fuel her inhabitants to enrage and burn until the Beast is reduced into ashes. Because we know how to love, and that love is been taken away from us, it is time for us to Break the Law! Help reclaim back UNGDOMSHUSET to her loved ones! DEFEND THE SQUAT COMMUNITIES FROM MANILA TO DENMARK! |
