we will have a presentation and Q&A at the wonderful Pages of Hackney Bookshop.
Early in 2008,
three months after the vote to transfer the Haggerston and
Kingsland estate from Hackney council to L&Q housing
association we began our work at the estate.
Tonight we will talk about the process that led up to the
publishing of Estate. The journey started via our I am
here project, a photo installation where we exchanged 67
bright orange boards covering voids units at the estate with
large-scale photographs of past and current residents. From there
we developed our work by route of a number of presentations at
TINAG, Urban Encounters, Tate Britain, and texts for
Homecultures and Streetsigns. Estate
emerges out of this long-term engagement on Haggerston &
Kingsland estate.
We will also show some short
excerpts of film material we have started to shoot with residents
on the estate.
These events are well-attended so do rsvp to info@pagesofhackney.co.uk or 020 8525 1452 to ensure your place.
