BUILDINGS PLANTLIKE GREW... A WALK AROUND SE1
Friday 11 September
Meet 6.30pm outside Kennington Underground Station; RSVP to editors@differentskies.net.
Over the past few months Different Skies writers collective
and publication has been haunting the streets of SE1 and surrounds - from
Vauxhall, to Kennington, to Elephant & Castle - documenting in
photographs and poems a trail of demolition, displacement, and precarious
alternatives to London's housing crisis. The project, supported by The Poetry
School, culminates in a series of postcards to be released shortly. To
celebrate, Different Skies is hosting a sunset walking tour with poets,
community activists, historians, bloggers and musicians. We'll be visiting Different
Skies' former HQ, Erlang House at St George's Circus, the ruins of the Heygate
Estate, and the beautiful community gardens of Bonnington Square. A roaming
discussion featuring presentations and readings from: John Boughton, author
Municipal Dreams blog, James Hatts, editor of SE1website, Mary van der Water
from Save Knight's Walk campaign, Silvia Rothlisberger from Latin Elephant and Richard
Reynolds, aka the Guerilla Gardener.
