A bed, a chair and a table : stories from the Poortgebouw

"Developed and produced by the students from the Experimental Publishing course (XPUB) of the Piet Zwart Institute"
This is a publication about the Poortgebouw, a monumental building which was first squatted in 1980 and now houses a vibrant collective of 30+ renters. In this book, oral histories from inside and outside the Poortgebouw are interlaced with material from various archives, including the Poortgebouw's own Autonomous Archive. By bringing together these tales of resilience, political struggle, frustration and friendship with historical documents, this book brings forward new perspectives about the Poortgebouw's unique history and its importance in the contemporary city.
