Belo Horizonte: Casa Encantada South American Tour

We are thrilled to announce that in the months of July and August, members of Kasa Invisível will once again cross the imaginary lines of nation-states to expand connections, forge new bonds, and strengthen existing ones—this time in the Southern Cone!

The goal of this tour is to travel through Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, and southern Brazil to launch the book Casa Encantada – A Portrait of the Struggle for Housing in Belo Horizonte, recently translated into Spanish thanks to the voluntary efforts of comrades in three countries.

Beyond the book, we will bring debates, graphic art, and shared learning, exchanging notes and experiences with local movements and collectives about the differences and similarities in our local struggles. Additionally, we will explore ways to strengthen mutual support among social centers and anti-capitalist occupations across Latin America. [Read More]

Belo Horizonte: european tour for the book Casa Encantada

Comrades from the Kasa Invisível squat in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, are now touring all around Europe to present the book Casa Encantada, the Enchanted House, “A Portrait of the Fight for Housing in Belo Horizonte Going Through the Pandemic”.

The work is accompanied by interviews conducted between 2022 and 2023, which tell the story of these properties and their inhabitants in their own voices. [Read More]
