The posters for the crowdfunding of the #SAVEPROSFYGIKA campaign are meant to raise international awareness and gather financial support for the self-organized community of Prosfygika in Athens.
Prosfygika is a self-organized and liberated neighborhood in Athens that has existed for about 15 years. In eight building blocks, around 400 people from 27 countries live together, speaking many languages and coming from different religions, ages, and backgrounds. The community is based on solidarity, mutual aid, communal ownership, and horizontal organization. Over the years it has hosted, housed, and supported thousands of people and created 22 community structures that respond to basic social needs. It is also a place involved in social, political, and internationalist struggles.
The community is now facing strong repression from the state and capitalist interests. The government plans connected to gentrification and corporate “mega projects” in Athens are targeting the neighborhood. In 2025 the local government signed a contract to evict four of the buildings and renovate them, with work expected to start in July 2026.
The residents are working on a self-organized restoration of the historic buildings, which were originally built between 1933 and 1936 for refugees from Asia Minor. With help from architects, engineers, and volunteers, they aim to renovate the buildings while respecting their historical Bauhaus-influenced architecture.
They are asking for financial support mainly to defend the community and fund the restoration of the buildings. The campaign called #saveprosfygika seeks international solidarity to continue the renovation work and resist eviction.
