        Abstract: <\/strong>Over the period from 2013 to 2020, the Moria camp in the island of Lesvos became synonymous with the exclusionary border control policies of the Greek state and the European Union. During the summer of 2020, most Covid-19 travel restrictions were lifted and Lesvos opened to tourists, while the Moria camp remained in lockdown. On the night of 8 September, the camp was set on fire and its residents escaped in a nearby area where they self-organized a makeshift settlement. The escape was followed by days of riots with police forces, and ended with the violent enclosure of the people in a new camp. The paper builds on critical migration scholarship and proposes the concepts of escape commons and military campization in order to conceptualize the commoning practices in moments of escape and the way they are susceptible to state migration policies which increasingly take the form of military management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Abstract: <\/strong>In recent years, Athens has been at the center of the so-called \u201cmigration crisis\u201d, as thousands of newcomers have found temporary or permanent refuge in the city. However, because the state\u2019s housing policies have reduced the available positions of those who have the right to settle in state accommodation structures, an ever-increasing number of newcomers facing homelessness and live in city\u2019s streets, parks and squares. In this context, a solidarity collective kitchen named \u201cOur House\u201d was self-organized by a group of newcomers on the city\u2019s central square, Omonoia Square, where it remained for two years. Our House project activities, based on mutual help and commoning practices, claimed the homeless migrants\u2019 right to the center of the city. However, in 2019 the square was turned into a construction site and Our House activities were prohibited. This paper is based on ethnographic urban research and discusses the solidarity practices of homeless migrants through the theoretical approaches of the right to the city, as well as critical approaches to homelessness and urban commons. The main findings of the paper focus on highlighting the homeless migrants\u2019 commoning practices, and the paper\u2019s contribution lies in the enrichment of theoretical discussions on the right to the city and urban commoning practices through the case homeless migrants\u2019s self-organization. available in pdf: https:\/\/www.recity.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Tsavdaroglou-C.-2024.-Homeless-migrants-commoning-practices.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
