- Contested Space: Syringes in a Community Garden
Set in the seasons leading up to 2020, this story takes place in a public community garden in Bonn, Germany, in a small lot surrounded by low-rise apartment buildings, in a quiet part of town not far from the Rhine. There was once a playground on this site, but it fell into disrepair and disuse. Increasingly overgrown with plant life – and thus shielded from street view – the abandoned playground was subsequently used primarily by people consuming drugs and alcohol.

AUTONOMOUS CULTURE WORKSHOP/WORKCITY, TOORICHde »AUTONOME KULTURWERKSTADT WOHLGROTH, ZUREICH«
In this leaflet, the squatters of the Autonome Kulturwerkstad(t)t Wohlgroth look back on the two and a half years since the occupation. Among other things, they discuss the closure of the consumption room, the sleep-in for drug consumers, and the women's emergency shelter. It is not their job, they say, "to solve the social problems of the city." Since the closure, "dealing and consumption of hard drugs are no longer tolerated. But that doesn't mean, of course, that we exclude junkies on principle."

LEGAL AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN CAPITALIST SOCIETYde »LEGALE UND ILLEGALE DROGEN IN DER KAPITALISTISCHEN GESELLSCHAFT«
The leaflet describes the social functions of legal and illegal drugs. Alcohol generates profits and keeps the population calm. Illegal drugs also generate large profits and at the same time they keep the non-integrated parts of the population quiet. The latter not so much because of the consumption itself but because of the criminalisation that keeps the users on their toes and puts politically active people behind prison bars.

The Arbeitsgruppe Drogen (Working Group on Drugs) of the Zurich AJZ is organising a "Drug Week" together with the Drogengruppe Zürich (Zurich Drug Group), an association of various organisations involved in movement-related drug work. The aim is to discuss the issue of drugs in general and how to deal with drugs in the movement. The context is police checks and media reports about the situation in the "Tschönki room", which was more than just a consumption room, but above all the fact that the drug problem was increasingly concentrated in the AJZ due to repression in the city.
