AUT: social centres & the global south?

[Enda Brophy <2eob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

hey all-

I've been asked recently whether I know of any examples of the occupied
social centre form (and I'm thinking here of the Italian variety which,
rather than having a narrow focus on housing acts as more of a hub for
antagonistic and constituent practices) being picked up in the global
south.

Of course for those of us in north america it's become pretty obvious
that any occupation of social space in recent years has been crushed
pretty swiftly (I'm thinking of takeovers that have happened in Ottawa,
Toronto, and Montreal in my part of the world), but do any of you
global south watchers/inhabitants/supporters have any interesting
examples of the form being adopted?

Argentina was one of my first thoughts, but how have occupied spaces
there been similar/different from the Italian examples?

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated as always.

e.
