Pseudo Squat

Topic: real estate speculation

Purpose: making aware of potentials of existing building structures

Location: building at centre of Uus Maailm

Audience: neighbourhoud, citizens via print media

Timeframe: Saturday

Intervention: Convert the exterior of a special wooden house that is been let rotting down by its owners for speculation. Simulation of an outdoor cafĂ© in front of the building with tables, chairs, serving coffee and cake, music, and so on. Covering windows with cardboard where people are shown – fake inhabitants.

Actors: Kollegues plus Uus Maailm people

Material: tables, plates, cardboard, food,

Involve: Uus Maailm people, local media;

Expected outcome for us: insight in neighbourhood opinions regarding real estate development;

Expected impact:supporting a social transformation of a neighbourhood instead of a capitalistic transformation, what serves the idea of qualifying in-between areas in a certain way;

Bad scenario: police make the intervention stop

Plan B: unnecessary, the better will be the article in the local newspaper; discussion next to proposed site;
