Residents: Mapping Local Ecologies, Particpatory Programme, Goldsmiths CCA (goldsmithscca.art)

--

Mapping Local Ecologies presents a schedule of regular events and activities aimed at re-discovering and re-engaging with historical and newfound narratives within the locale of New Cross and South East London at large. 

In the form of a research group conducted through a series of tours, talks, and workshops held at the CCA, the year-long project aims to explore local oral histories and narratives, seeking to address themes of gentrification, local identity, and community building. The tours and workshops will be led by various guest contributors such as community members, local artists and networks within the broader Goldsmiths student ecology.

Aiming to engender the production of uncommon knowledge, the group will imagine New Cross as a site of transformation through collectively producing a cartographical document to re-trace existing histories and potential futures within the neighbourhood.
