24.08.23 – 26.08.23 @ Alte Meierei (Hornheimer Weg 2) | Kiel
When the squatters’ houses on Sophienblatt were evicted in the summer of 1983 and had to make way for the car- and consumer-oriented inner city planning, the Alte Meierei came into being as one of the pacification and alternative objects for the squatters and their culture from the inner city. This will be the 40th anniversary in 2023.
We can now look back on four decades of collective housing and uncommercial culture in self-administration at Hornheimer Weg 2. Four decades that – although sometimes more, sometimes less lively and innovative – have left their mark on the city and on the many generations of Meierei activists. The past can be characterised as diverse, DIY, chaotic, subcultural, political, underground and certainly not without contradictions – but in any case as resistant to sell-out and subordination to the capitalist logic of exploitation, mainstream, repressive attempts at regulation by the city and fascist attacks.
We want to use the 40th Meierei birthday at the end of August 2023 as an opportunity to come together to review our common history, to toast the Meierei and, of course, to examine how the project can remain a left-wing cultural centre and housing project with emancipatory charisma in times of uncertain social upheaval for many years to come. Keep the last weekend in August free, watch out for current announcements and come by.
