“The street is a void in the sequence of man, as he sleeps by its side, in rows that house his dreams.”- J. H. Prynne What I have witnessed over the last few weeks is in fact the long patient work required for ensuring the street is not a void in the sequence of man. In fact, what occupations have showed and continue to make so visible are the enshrined voids and empty spaces of “friendly enterprise” that we have taken in place of an actual public space where we can meet others, irreducible in their suffering and intelligible in their grievance. I take the importance of occupation, in both its practical and philosophic senses, to lie in a fundamental assertion of presence.
