Description

Peckham Platform invites you to Memories for the Future: Social Architecture, an intimate symposium and knowledge exchange held as part of the 2024 London Design Festival. This event delves into the deep-rooted connections between architectural and urban design, social policy, and the experiences of the UK’s post-war working class and Black diasporic communities.

📅 Date: Tuesday, 17 September 2024
📍 Location: Staffordshire Street Gallery, London SE15 5TJ
🕒 Time: 12.30 PM - 6 PM
🎟️ FREE Event

The symposium will begin with Blacks Britannica (Dir. David Koff, 1978), a powerful and previously banned documentary that serves as a focal point for examining how urban planning and architectural practices have impacted these communities. The program includes a curated presentation of key excerpts from Blacks Britannica, an intimate screening of Julianknxx’s deeply moving work, Black Corporeal (Breathing By Numbers), a special presentation by visionary designer Daniel Odunton followed by a panel discussion with architectural designer/researcher Dr. Thandi Loewnson and Dr. Charmaine Brown, a community activist and historian of Peckham. These presentations and discussions offer a contemporary perspective on the histories explored.

This Peckham Platform event is proudly presented as part of "Made Without Permission", an exhibition curated by bafalw, at Staffordshire Street Gallery, and part of the the 2024 London Design Festival.
