From the Blocks, it also Continues in the House of Reconciliation

28.9.21

Following the closure of Ana Díaz due to the pandemic, we had to suspend the activity of the Des dels blocs space. The lockdown activated solidarity links that ended up forming the Xarxa de suport veïnal de l’Hospitalet (Hospitalet Neighborhood Support Network), in which we participated intensely during those days. Part of these links were transferred to the House of Reconciliation of Can Serra, where we promoted a space for collective creation and organization that, in part, drew on the experience and relied on the community networks consolidated in the Florida blocks. The Conserves Litorals kitchen space, promoted with the collaboration of Marina Monsonís , the street radio programs, the vertical loom workshop with Sonia Paradell, the free legal advice sessions with Douâa El Amrani of E&D Advocades , and the urban garden built with Aurora Serra Canti from the Tarpuna cooperative, have been accompanied by the alternative food bank that emerged from the Xarxa de suport veïnal and the support activity for migrants from the Mujeres Unidas Entre Tierras collective.

All this has happened in La Casa de la Reconciliación (The House of Reconciliation), a facility where the Can Serra parish is located and which was the result of neighborhood self-organization: it was the residents of Can Serra themselves who built and managed it in the 70s, becoming the scene of historical moments such as the emergence of the conscientious objection movement that we recently commemorated there.

If you want to participate in this space, propose, organize and make things like these happen, we meet there every Wednesday from 4:30 PM to 7 PM. Come and join us!
