PUYUELO / GENEVILLA - Social movements in Spain are working harder than anywhere else in Europe to build a different model of society. Various communities, in both urban and rural areas, are occupying abandoned villages, entire neighbourhoods, and individual properties. A new paradigm is emerging within the grey area between legality and illegality that they are exploring.

PUYUELO - Only 15.8% of the total population still lives in the so-called Empty Spain, which covers just over half of the interior of the country. While Spanish cities have doubled or even tripled in size over the past century, the population in the interior of the country has barely increased.

KAKUMA - In a remote corner of the sparsely populated northwest of Kenya, the Kakuma Refugee Camp was founded in 1991. The persistent instability in the region caused a society with increasingly urban characteristics to arise.
