We Shall Not Be Moved

As part of the Art Licks Weekend, RARA presents “We shall not be moved”, an exhibition bringing together artists, activists and architects to explore the idea of “home” in this city at this time as the housing crisis intensifies.

Learn how to fly-post with Digs, Hackney renters, exchange your tales of letting agents for plant dibbers that Lindsay Draws turns on the lathe from posts that once held estate agent signs, enjoy a “home” cooked meal with RARA members while discussing ways in which artists and architects can challenge the idea of properties for profit over people, learn the story of a Victorian house from construction to present day while watching Urban Histories, a new performance conceived by Sarah Akigbogun, performed with Nadine Ivy Barr, nd consider what it takes to create home wherever you are with whatever you have with Alexandra Parry and Eva Freeman.

We Shall Not Moved is a collection of art works, activities and performances to engage audiences whatever their personal housing situation.
