Festival for Community Organising: Creative Action

Camberwell College Citizens invites you to the third Festival For Community Organising, an exhibition and programme of events exploring how art and design methods have impacted community action on the living wage, health and housing.

When: 28 April – 2 May
Where: Camberwell Space, Camberwell College of Arts, SE5 8UF
Timings: The festival exhibition will be open all week from 10:00 AM – 5:30 PM daily, unless an event is scheduled. See full festival programme below.

This year, the programme includes an exhibition which spotlights the techniques involved in community organising when combined with art, design and performance. On display will be placards, banners, zines, publications, archival materials and more made by staff, students and the wider community who are listening, and acting, on societal issues that matter. 

We also have an exciting programme of varied events taking place during the week, more info below. We hope to see you there!
