Story
Fight4Aylesbury
The Aylesbury Estate in South London is one of the many housing estates in London and in the UK that is being demolished and its residents displaced in the process.
We are a group of residents and supporters who have been fighting against the privatisation and demolition of the Aylesbury and all social housing, and we need help turning the flat of one of us, a tenant on Aylesbury, into an exhibition about housing struggles on the Aylesbury Estate from 1999 to the present.
Our aim is to celebrate the rich history of organising on the estate, to inspire others with their own housing struggles, to learn from each other, and to give everyone a chance to visit a beautiful flat on Aylesbury. It's our own version of open house, with politics included.
The exhibition will be open to the public. The whole flat, located on a high floor of one of the Aylesbury big blocks that are still standing, will be covered with images, cuttings, collages, posters, sound and video recordings, and objects relating to the history of organising on the estate. Every room will be themed: the themes include organizing, mental health, relationship with the Council, history, and squatting.
We have received support from the Raymond Williams Foundation and from Goldsmiths, but we need some more funds to make sure we can make photographic prints, to print a booklet, buy materials such as glues, wallpaper, lights and audio speakers. Any little support you might be able to give will go a long way.
