Taking Space: a Prologue Taking space is a documentary compendium on how, why, and where individuals carve out and retain autonomous space, with a specific focus on Southern California. The prologue features three spaces in and around the Los Angeles area and the collectives that run them: Hyde Park Half, Bridgetown DIY, and Blood Orange Infoshop. While explaining the logistics of these collectively operated social centers, it sheds light on how the individuals who make up these collectives interact with one another and take up space within their communities.
