ZAD – Europe’s largest post-capitalist protest camp – a kind of rural occupy on the eastern edge of Brittany, half an hour’s drive from the city of Nantes.
Like a rebel constellation spread across 4000 acres of forest, farmland and marshes, it takes the form of old old squatted farms and fields, D.I.Y. straw bale houses, up-cycled sheds, theaters and bars cobbled from Industrial-pallets, hobbit like round houses, cute cabins built with the world’s waste, huts perched frighteningly high in tress and a multitude of other disobedient architectural fantasies.
La ZAD has been a laboratory for ways of living despite capitalism since the 2009 French Climate Camp.
