Housing rights are lived through squatting, beyond property, leasing and public housing credit programs. In addition to the state of illegality granted to them by the State, the experience of squatting can be perceived by the paradigm of international human rights law, by the right to adequate housing and by the prohibition of eviction, and by the lens of the performativity of bodies in alliance. Starting from these perspectives and having as context Manaus, Amazonas, this work analyzes the judicial eviction filed by the Union against the inhabitants of the Occupation Alcir de Matos, the testimonies of its inhabitants who were previously evicted from the occupation of the City of Lights, the action of the leaders of the National Union for Popular Housing, and of the Public Defender s Office of the Union with the residents. The performativity of the bodies in struggle affirms a right to housing that includes the general conditions of distribution of precariousness, and necessarily part of the right to squat to live and to claim politically conditions of a livable life, free of evictions, forced withdrawals, political persecution, police violence, criminalization and imprisonment.
