This zine collects 42 graphics of "house fighters"—anthropomorphized buildings in struggle. The houses included here are assembled from a number of sources: books, posters, zines, records, and more. The majority are from Europe, many are the unofficial logos of well-known squats.
I find myself drawn so strongly to images of houses or buildings as protagonists, embattled communes against the outside world. The collective home as a living, breathing, social entity that can take action is a powerful concept—the place we eat and sleep and play is key site of resistance. While not exactly as developed a critique as something like Wages for Housework, these graphics do articulate a common sense politic that our struggles start at home, and in turn our home can facilitate our struggles.
This is Pound the Pavement #38, printed in an initial print run of 250 copies in April 2025.
