S2 Ep5: Home on the move, the Right to Roam
02/20/24 • 46 min
As far back as we can go, communities have been on the move - migrating due to seasons, changing environments, cultures. Yet since 1500s in the UK, the state has clamped down on mobile communities, creating laws specifically to expel Gypsy, Roma and Traveller groups or force them to assimilate to static ways of living.
In this episode Larissa and Zoe get heated about the importance of the Right to Roam for all of us, how living on the move is resistance and ask WHY is the state so scared of mobile communities??? Digressions include whether the #VanLife girlies will join the revolution.
