Power in our hands


SYNOPSIS
Behind the closed doors of the Tetterode building in Amsterdam, one of the biggest artist communities of the city has been living a quiet life. The residents squatted the building in the 1980s and repurposed it following the principles of self-management and guerrilla architecture. For decades, they preserved a liberated zone where they could paint, sculpt, write, and be free. Now in the autumn of their lives, the community stands at a crossroads: The commercial real estate pressure is greater than ever and a younger generation must take over. Will there still be room for this unique community in the future of Amsterdam?
