Ungdomshuset


Earlier this month in Copenhagen the Ungdomshuset a youth house was evicted by the government in Denmark! this was a place were the youth in copengagen orchestrated the underground music scene of copenhagen. In the last few years the building has become very popular due to the issues between the residing activists and the government.

This intense reality escalated over the past month in Copenhagen due to the final eviction of persons in the Ungdomshuset. On the 3rd of march rioting spread throught Copenhagen causing much un-needed damage. The youth just not understanding that the building was not theres. a feeling of oppression against the youth of Copenhagen had to be volleyed back towards the government.

5th of march the building was demolished. the demoliton company's logos were covered and workers masked to protect their identity due to possible future danger.

This protest has spread accross the world with seperate protest actions in Germany, Sweden and Poland. Eight people protested in New York City

Ungdomshuset is gone
