Yesterday afternoon we took the metro to Freetown Christiania, a commune in Christianshavn, which began in 1971 as a squatted military base. Pusher Street, famous for its trade of cannabis, which is illegal in Denmark, was just removed in April 2024 to reduce gang activity. This community has its own laws and rules, one of them being to photograph responsibly and avoid taking pictures of its residents. Another is not to run because it creates panic. No violence and no cars. It’s super hippy of course and the wall art in some places is stunning.
