This event has been postponed from 29 June; the new date will be announced here shortly.

A panel of artists, activists and architects share stories of housing activism in past movements and present-day campaigns.

Artist Sonia Uddin’s project Dokhol দখল ’84 is an important starting point which looks at how Bengali homeless families who were housed in appalling conditions in hostels took on the Council, occupying Camden Town Hall in 1984. The collective organising power of this movement was captured in the archival materials which she shares as an important, historical archive.

Housing policy affects and applies to many across the country, including migrants. Join us, creatives and activists, on the day to learn about community empowerment and how to harness collective action in order to fight for housing as a basic human right that should be available to all.

Free.

In partnership with Southbank Centre and part of Refugee Week 2025.
