Which spaces are open and which are closed? How do shape, colour and form combine to include or exclude?
This week is Refugee Week. Untold numbers of people displaced through war struggle everyday to find refuge in countries that are not their own. This month is the anniversary of Grenfell, and right now children have been separated from their families under appalling circumstances at the Mexican border. All the while Brexit negotiations limp along. These all amount to people in power wanting to control space while those without lose rights to theirs.
This Saturday at Hilly Fields Fayre the caravan becomes a unique and colourful community hub, creating multiple reflections and a place to welcome everyone. Opening up and sharing space. Seeing the world through someone else’s eyes.
This is a participatory project in collaboration with @brockley_open_studios , Beecroft Garden School and refugee group, Creating Ground. The project will be displayed at Hilly Fields Fayre in a form of an installation in and around the caravan and family friendly activities taking place all day.
great turnout from publishers, zine makers, artists, activists, poets, thinkers, talkers, browsers and everyone else in between today at the #radicalbookfair @goldsmithsuol
