Brixton Neighbourhood Pilot - There Are Many Alternatives #2

TAMA 2 (There Are Many Alternatives) will begin to build a portrait of Brixton, spotlighting existing initiatives working to address social and climate justice within the borough and beyond. From mental health to whole foods, circular economies to community-owned energy, we all know that ‘the work’ has long-been happening. However, as austerity and displacement drive us further apart from each other, competing over diminishing funding pots and a never-ending cycle of ‘pilot’ projects, we will argue that now is the time to draw rank. How can these efforts be collectivised, co-operatised, or scaled for impact through shared governance models? Let’s discuss what ‘commoning’ looks like in practice.

Our panel won’t capture everyone, but young people at Advocacy Academy will. Working with The Brixton Project and a local designer to create a community portrait of Brixton, they will be talking to everyone and anyone working towards social and climate justice in the borough and beyond.
