A London Design Festival Route
Brixton Design Trail upped the ante again, with an expansive and immersive programme of installations, shows and events unlike anything else seen during the London Design Festival.
People from all over the world have long been drawn to Brixton by its legendary openness: free spirits and pioneers finding a place to belong that is challenging, creative and expressive. For many it feels like the Centre of the Universe.
So as Britain wobbles with one foot in and one foot out of Europe, and America contemplates the great wall of Trump, Brixton Design Trail curated over 70 local artists, designers, makers and activists to respond to the theme We Belong.
We applied a local perspective to global challenges sharing our collective consciousness with the wider world. A creative community takeover happened from 15th-23rd September that filled Brixton’s venues, public spaces and streets with installations and exhibitions that definitely left you thinking (and we hope bringing a smile to your day) as you went about the business of life.
