LaBeba Teatro, an independent cultural center and community hub in Río Ceballos, Argentina, is facing a judicial eviction lawsuit. Although the local city council declared the space as ‘Cultural, Social and Community Heritage’ and designated it as a public utility subject to expropriation, the legal process to remove the collective continues.

The group has occupied and renovated the building for over a decade, following a twenty-year history of transforming the site. Members of the collective, including Nicolás Jara, Amalia Medina, and Matías Etchezar, report that they are currently in the appeals stage of the legal proceedings while awaiting municipal action regarding the expropriation of the property.
