#Tigre just outside of #BuenosAires in #Argentina is on the fringe between civilisation and wilderness. It's a massive complex river delta ecosystem. I just spent a couple days out there with friends of friends and found this amazing #DIY #punk #queer #paradise: women building community from scratch with their biceps and hearts.
The river level moves up and down by meters per day, so everything is built high on stilts. I'm a sucker for the "stained glass" effect of embedding liquor bottles in your clay walls:
Some folks occupied this corner block and build a community centre on it. I joined them for an #assembly #assemblea where they're talking about forming an #autonomous #municipality to keep the state out as much as possible.
For these folks their most important possessions are their #boats. Parking lot outside the community centre.
The island I spent most of the time on is run almost entirely by #women who build everything. Huge amount of #hardwork and #mutualaid to keep reproducing this borderland community.
