I am sylvia from greece and currently sponsored by the programme YOUTH to independently work on researching cultural houses in Europe. I have been reading a lot through the internet and am mainly interested in free spaces, like the Rote Fabrik in Zuerich, Switzerland, which poped up after radical youth movements. I have been reading a lot about Italy and Holland, the Squatters and so on and it is all so fascinating, but it is difficult to find out whether there were cultural places that survived and are still functioning, like in Switzerland, since I am in the other end of the world and all this took place when I wasn't even born! But I have the chance now to know more about it and share the information with so many other people.. Can anyone help me? Information about such free independet cultural houses, or links to people that could give me more specific information? the page http://av-produktionen.ch/80/home.html is very helpful, but unfortunately only referring to Switzerland. And anything else I have managed to find has more to do with the history and less with the results. I would so much appreciate any help. Just point out a couple of places you like and hang out in. Thanx a bunch!!! sylvia"
