DeptfordX 2010


Sayingno (2010, curated by artist Mark Tichner), the  collaborative project enquired- How do we enact the freedom to dream, do different and rebel, despite or as part of the struggle to survive?  Galloway and Hope worked with the residents of the Crossfields Estate in Deptford to create ethnography of creative acts of rebellion and freedom in the everyday. Stories of ordinary creative acts of resistance to routine, dominant and expected norms of living in the community. Through conversations with the residents, stories and anecdotes were collated and published on a website: http://sayingno.org/wp/ and a CD was produced and distributed to the whole estate, which lead to a public event on Sunday 3rd October 2010. For more information:www.sayingno.org
