UNA VIDA EN COMUN

The film introduces the Spanish model of cooperative housing – where residents can live in their apartments indefinitely without owning them individually, as the building is collectively owned – and is part of a research project launched in 2021 by the architectural collective El Tinglado. The film explores existing initiatives and brings together testimonies from the communities living in them, highlighting an alternative approach to housing centred on the right to housing, mutual support, and communal living.

The film is screened alongside Where We Grow Older and Nubia Way: A Story of Black-Led Self-Building in Lewisham.

Screening presented in partnership with the Cervantes Institute.
