Attending an event by Architecture Sans Frontières and the Resolve Collective this Sunday, June 18th,2023 as part of the London Festival of Architecture. This workshop invites participants from social and spatial disciplines to explore how acts of resistance and negotiation are fundamental to imagining cities in common for people with lived experience of displacement, migration and exile. In collaboration with Resolve Collective, participants will explore negotiated spaces in Croydon through walks, debate and making. This is the last of a 3-day series of participatory action-based responses to London’s built environment, organised by ASF-UK with ‘Woman, Life, Freedom Collective’, ‘Resolve Collective’ and 'Afterparti'. Centred around the themes of subversion, dissent, space and power, the workshops will address the following question: How are acts of resistance and negotiation creating spaces of common ground for people with lived experience of displacement, migration and exile in London today? The workshops will generate spaces for reflection on participants' own practices and experiences of making and inhabiting spaces of common ground, and asking what more could be done to support such spaces in the city.
