Future Hackney: Gillett Square, 1 Love
Future Hackney: Gillett Square, 1 Love
This talk by Don Travis and Wayne Crichlow will focus on the history, projects and collaborations of Future Hackney and will be of great interest to all those working in the fields of community engagement, visual storytelling, documentary and the shifting nature of London's community spaces.
Future Hackney's Don Travis and Wayne Crichlow have been documenting the Caribbean and African communities in Dalston for the last three years. Future Hackney’s primary focus is on social issues and change within the London Borough of Hackney. Working alongside residents we are currently documenting Ridley Road and Gillett Square in Dalston. These spaces encapsulate East London’s rich diversity, activism and post-colonial history, now a rapidly changing demographic as creeping real estate moves in.
Join us to learn more about the work of Don and Wayne and to learn more about this pocket of East London's community.
This talk has been made free to the public thanks to funding from the Mayor of London's Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm.
