Hello Steemers ! Passionate about self-managed communities, I'm starting this new photo project on the ones I have the chance to visit. I believe in a world of independent communities, as we evolve in a more and more complex world. There is not a unique way to live and that's what makes the beauty of our existence down here. Enjoy the ride !

Based in the neighborhood of Lavapies in Madrid, Spain, La Tabacalera is a cultural and social center promoting the participation of citizenship by the self-organization of this public space. It focuses on culture as a concept of creative and social skills of citizenship.
From the beginning, Tabacalera has been an open invitation for artists and doers from many fields to participate in various projects. This results is a rich mix of groups and individuals and invite them to be part of the ecosystem. There are a lot of workshops and cultural events happening often at the same time.
