Regenerating Regeneration
Movement for Cultural Democracy

Add to calendar


How are arts and culture implicated in regeneration, gentrification and social cleansing in the UK? How can we respond to the ongoing neoliberalisation of arts and culture which has lead to what we might call “artwashing”? Through participation and by reflecting on our everyday class experiences, the session will explore how we might enable grassroots forms of regeneration to flourish - forms that benefit and protect existing people and communities, rather than exploit and displace them.
