            the faded bovril sign makes me feel like i'm back anytime i go away for a while. those buildings on rushcroft road looking down onto windrush square were squats for 30 years until 2013 when they were forcibly evicted by the police and lambeth council now they're unaffordable for most of the people who grew up in brixton. next to them is the black cultural archives. you can see the square being used for brixton disco festival and local community education/black history and welfare and outreach groups here.

lambeth council make lots public announcements and billboards about brixtons proud history of rebellion and resistance to tyranny whilst neglecting to mention how much of it they are white washing and engaging in themselves by forcing people out in favour of corporate chains and greedy developers like hondo enterprises who own most of the market and are trying to make it dull and grey. they put of artworks dedicated to olive morris, a campaigner for housing and social justice frequently in opposition to lambeth council. would she have wanted a tribute to her sponsored by a bank? i highly doubt it. 

universal housing and welfare now.
