Hägerstensåsens medborgarhus is a cultural house, a people's house and one of Stockholm's largest meeting rooms. Open every day, for everyone. The house is a place for popular education, association life and culture. Every week, the house is used by 100s and 1000s of individuals, associations and groups. It houses local radio, chess clubs and pensioners' associations together with literature talks, artistic research and dance courses for both newborns and pensioners. Our ambition is to create an ecosystem of social, artistic and pedagogical practices that enable conversations, reflection and a democratization of the local area and the city at large. Hägerstensåsen's citizens 'house was established after the residents of Hägerstensåsen in 1948 formed a joint association to work together for a community center to be built in the neighborhood. After a years of mobilization, the city agreed to finance the construction and the architect Bengt Gate was hired. The house was finished in 1957 and is today - 65 years later - one of Stockholm's largest meeting places that is still owned collectively.
