Portobello Pavilion: "Brilliant School"

We collaborated with artists in North Kensington, London, to programme five days of free art workshops, performances, discussions and events loosely themed around the idea of “re-designing the hostile environment”. The programme featured an on-site screening of “Performance” attended by producer David Cammel, a showing of recently digitised 1973 Notting Hill Carnival footage in an evening hosted by one of carnival’s founders Leslie Palmer and performances from youth and intergenerational companies around stop-and-search laws, deportation and how to stand up to victimisation.

Working with a steering group of local artists, activists and civil servants we continue to help curate and produce an active architectural pavilion in London’s Powis Square. Fed up with “dead space” architect designed pavilions across London and the increasing marginalisation of arts education, we work with local groups to produce an offer of free workshops, discussions and events that work in tandem with an exciting community build each year.
