Nothing is working properly here!

The Berlin district of Neukölln is one of the poorest in the city with 25% of its residents receiving social security (Hartz IV). This neighbourhood has experienced a wave of gentrification in recent years that has resulted in higher rents and the displacement of the poorer and marginalized. The activist group FelS focuses on the struggle against precarity and its new form in the labour market and in everyday life. In 2011 the FelS initiative “Together! Against the JobCenter Neukölln” organized a campaign against the JobCenter in the form of militant research. They collected people’s stories and experiences, conducted surveys, organized breakfast discussions, and even held an awards ceremony for the worst JobCenter “coach.” The information collected provided the basis for a series of posters and stickers.
