About this audio guide
This guide to Het Utrechts Archief in Utrecht, a former abbey and courthouse turned city archive, follows a story from November nineteen sixty-seven, when a pair of local counterculture artists came home from a London happening with an idea of their own. It touches the anarchist group Volte, the trade-fair hall they rented, and a city council and police force asked to go along with it. Listen in the expo, then look at the old abbey walls around you.
