Housing: Hacking the Crisis of Home 

With Lenart J. Kučić, Forms of Ownership / Vienne Chan, DOMA.CITY / Maksym
Rokmaniko & Francesco Sebregondi

Moderated by Klemen Ploštajner

 

>From empty luxury condos in London to slum clearance in Istanbul, from
mortgage debt crisis in Spain to unaffordable rents in Slovenia, we are
witnessing different local expressions of the global housing condition.
These local crises stem from the real estate-financial complex that has
transformed housing into an investment opportunity for an increasingly
unequal concentration of global surplus capital. The commodification of
housing thus offers lucrative financial opportunities for upper classes,
while at the same time contributes to the increasing residential alienation,
housing insecurity and expropriation of the commons. States have contributed
to these developments by not only deregulating housing markets and
privatising public rental stock, but also by employing different
entrepreneurial strategies that support private investment strategies while
limiting the development of non-profit alternatives. Housing is thus no
longer a source of individual or social stability and security, but of
constant tension, conflict and exploitation. How can communities, in current
conditions of financial plunder and state removal, come together to
construct other scenarios? How can we develop new mechanisms of communal
control that will once again embed housing markets in local social
relations, that will treat housing as a communal resource and human right?
Can we imagine another system that will not be based on housing as an
investment, but will see it as a home?
