Falling out and fighting back in a housing crisis
The publication brings together writers, academics and community organizers to address a pressing issue: the ongoing housing crisis in Glasgow. Although centered on a specific locale, the topic resonates on a global scale, indicating the housing crisis as a symptom of oppressive capitalist conditions and emphasizing the critical role of community and solidarity in navigating them.
Acting as a 'user's manual', Slamming Doors mobilizes text and images, archives and conversations to unpack the work of DIY learning, grassroots organizing and how to record, disseminate and learn from collective struggles. It explores housing struggles, community organizing, and reproductive labor in Glasgow, highlighting how we document and share these stories. Additionally, it reflects ongoing relationships with communities and spaces of solidarity. Writers, academics, and activists were invited to contribute, pairing their texts with archival imagery that has been instrumental in the research of these films.
