Brixton Black History Month

Rationale:The Living Room exhibition centres around the acquisition and display of Brixton’s local history as a celebration of the impact every citizen has on this history and culture.

In response to the strong community of Brixton, The Living Room presents a stage for regular citizens to share stories of their lives and the lives of their family. This would be achieved through canvassing the community before the start of the exhibition.

Proposal: As one moves through the material presented in the square, a lamp chain hangs down from the 50ft wide lamp surrounding the 100-year-old tree situated in the centre of the square. This chain controls the lighting of the square, toggling lights that focus beams on the story-telling street furniture.
