Upcoming Events: Anatomy of a street / London Festival of Architecture 25 June to 4 July

Focusing on event-based urban developments, the project explores the fluidly changing relationship of the public, the private and the corporate; the interactions of the top-down and bottom-up organizational processes thematically through mapping local communities, migration, gentrification, local businesses and industries, food production and contribution as well as diverse traditions and new cultural enterprises.

Based on an international and interdisciplinary platform, Anatomy of a Street attempts to connect different discursive fields and disciplines as well as networks belonging to different geographical locations, cultures and histories between eastern and western Europe after the cold war.

Besides an audio guide, installation of maps and visualization of other research material the exhibition will unfold in shop windows and market stalls along Church street and includes photographic and video works, urban interventions and performances by artists, activists and architects. Participants include Gabó Bartha, Péter Rákosi, Miklós Surányi, Allan Siegel, Ádám Albert, Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad, House of Jonn and many more.

To coincide with the exhibition a corrisponding publication will be produced comprising research material.
Publication launch: July 6 at The Showroom

Situated amongst the daily market traders, AUBERGINE:NW8 - "Share a Recipe, Take an Aubergine!" is a subtle public intervention in Church Street Market. A project that seeks to explore and further understand the ethnically diverse community that surrounds and benefits from the street market. A market store table and seating will be set up to provide an area for exchanging the cross-culturally popular staple ingredient “the aubergine” for humble home-cooking recipes. Project by Bahbak Hashemi-Nezhad.

Dates: June: 26th (12am - 4pm), July: 2nd (12am - 4pm), 3rd (12- 4pm)
