This is a real ‘web’, just like a spider’s – a place of connections – ideas – information – of dreams!
Our aim is to make it a Web of Hubs for alternative and free cultural spaces and people
The idea is to provide a loose-knit, non-hierarchical, web-based resource network for a wide range of what we are calling ‘Free Cultural Spaces’ (FCS). They wouldn’t necessarily use that term to describe themselves, but we need a simple, non-threatening term!
Description UK-based site that offers info and links on a wide range of renewable energy sources.
Description US-based site which makes the bold claim of being “the World’s No 1 Renewable Network for news, information and companies.”
Description Resurgence and Ecologist magazine focuses on environmental concerns. Lots of information and articles.
Description Renowned architect and father of geodesic domes and Spaceship Earth. He was known to many as ‘Bucky’.
As it says on the official BFI site:
“R. Buckminster Fuller was a 20th century inventor and visionary who did not limit himself to one field but worked as a 'comprehensive anticipatory design scientist' to solve global problems. Fuller's ideas and work continue to influence new generations of designers, architects, scientists and artists working to create a sustainable planet.”

Description Sobey Wing’s site with videos and links.
Description An archive resource on anti-road building and protest tactics. UK-originated, but tips from further afield too. Part of the now defunct archive of ‘eco-action’.
Description The Autonomous Factory, ROG, which is still fighting against the threats of eviction from the municipality of Ljubljana.
They say: “ROG is a unique place and complex community with over twenty active collectives and spaces. It is meant for the young and other generations, who wish to create, work, experiment and simply be outside of frameworks of bureaucracy and profit.”
Description In Syria, deep in ISIL territory – the Rojava independence struggle continues. The aim is a Kurdish state run by women, but also a state where Kurds, Christians and Arabs can live in harmony. It’s a bold dream and complex.
Here’s a link to one site and a BBC video. You can google for more links!
Description Ruigoord Cultural Freeport outside Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Ane early squat turned arts and fesival community space.
Description The wonderful wacky, trippy world created by ace artist, Pete Loveday. Come and join Russell, with his life as a (err umm) peaceful man. Ultimately far out hippie stuff! Lots of festival stories, communes, new Travellers and mind altering substances.
