Land and Freedom
Javier Ballestreros working at at the occupied Somonte farm in Palma del Rio, Spain
‘Somonte Resiste’ is written with rocks in enormous letters at the main entrance, readable from the air. And I’m pretty sure that Somonte will keep resisting… Spanish Revolution. The Somonte farm has been occupied by members of the Syndicato Andalucia Trabajadores (SAT) since March 4th 2012. These actions represent a platform for the struggle against the commodification and privatization of natural resources: the land belongs to those who cultivate it.
The photographs has been published on Helsinki Sanomat to illustrate a story by Johanna Kippo.
