Siperia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- This article is about the squat. For the region in Russia, see Siberia.
Siperia was the name of a well known squat in Herttoniemi on the east side of Helsinki in Finland. The squat occupied a house left vacant by the city council in 2002. It acted as a social centre, and as a space for underground bands and cinema.
The squat burned down in the night of June 14, 2006. The reason for fire is unknown, the house was empty during the fire.
Helsinki squatters hope to find new venues. Especially now that the other public squat in town, Vuoritalo, was evicted.
