WHERE?
@ the Institute for Autonomy, 76-78 Gower Street, London WC1.
from http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2005/03/306883.html
'The Institute for Autonomy is a newly occupied social centre in central
London. Created in a disused university building in a city where house &
rent prices continue to climb far out of the reach of the majority, it has
lain empty and forgotten for over 5 years. The Institute for Autonomy aims
to be an open space for daily development towards autonomy. We are a
collective of people of different backgrounds and experiences: some of us
have participated in similar projects, some of us are students; none of us
can find a place in this society to live our lives with dignity.'
