reconnect:recover:reclaim social space

A drop-in outdoor performance workshop that explores the internal and external space of our communities, calling attention to the privatisation and commodification of social spaces.

Breathe! takes inspiration from Numbi's legacy of local/global art for change and Virtual Migrant's methodology of protest performance.

The history of struggle, resistance and community in East London is rich and vibrant. Yet perhaps now more than ever, our communal spaces are under pressure. The whirlwinds of rising property prices, rents, gentrification, surveillance and over-policing are destroying connections with neighbours and breaking up long standing communities; spaces that we rely on for solidarity, health and conviviality; places where we can meet, connect, share food, dance, sing, breathe. 

ABOUT THE ARTISTS 

Virtual Migrants connect art, digital media and performance with new aesthetics and perspectives exploring race, migration and global justice. They create, exhibit, perform and distribute work that can be installed in galleries, performance venues, public or community spaces.
