A one-day exchange of ideas and discussion.Over the past few months the Anchor and Magnet project has been exploring questions of identity, place, migration and community in Brixton through an artists residency. The Exchange event will provide a space to reflect on our process and how this relates to other projects which work to engage with these themes, using methods including socially engaged art practices, art in the public realm, and addressing questions of urban regeneration and community ownership. The event will be a day long series of exchanges, with presenters including artists, academics, and community activists followed by open roundtable discussions. Alongside this, there will be walking tours of the area lead by local residents and market traders, and residency documentation showcasing our artistic productions. The event is supported by The Migration Research Unit, University College London. Presenters include: Albert Potronyi , Bobby Lloyd and Sally Labern, Eva Sajovic, Jeanne Van Heeswijk, Rebecca Beinart. Tickets are £20 full price, limited concessionary and free bursary places available for Brixton residents and students. Includes lunch, refreshments and an evening drink in the market.Further details can be found on the Anchor and Magnet blog: http://anchorandmagnet.wordpress.com/or book viahttp://thebrixtonexchange.eventbrite.com/
