Join us for an afternoon of discussions on the relationship between art and gentrification and the changes that are currently sweeping through Deptford.
About
Hot on the heels of the Deptford Art & Gentrification Walk in May 2018 we will revisit the people, places, problems, questions and expand on the outcomes of that sweltering day.
We will visit community spaces, galleries, studios and landmarks on a walk along the streets, waterways, green spaces and new developments. We will meet local residents, artists, curators and activists to hear about their experiences and how they are resisting or overcoming the displacement of communities and the shrinking of public and creative spaces.
Do artists have a measure of responsibility in the process of gentrification and what can they do to resist the successive waves of change that inevitably lead to their own displacement? How can local residents regain some control over the rapid changes in their environment and the impact on their lives?
Come along to share your own stories and contribute to the discussion. Meet us at 1pm inside Deptford Rail Station or join us along the way. For more information and the itinerary please visit our website. Map of the route coming soon - maps will be available on the day in case you wonder off and want to meet us later on.
This event is also part of Deptford X (21-30 September 2018)
and Deptford Aint Avvinit (29-30 September 2018)
