Join us on Tuesday 17th June for Country Estate: Friends, Foundations and the Future of Social Housing, a talk led by artist and producer Vanessa Farinha.

Presented as part of our Art/Work Association programme, this event offers a space for critical discussion and collective reflection on the legacy and future of social housing in the UK. Vanessa will be joined by Antje Saunders (Design Director, SNG) along with a resident of a council estate to explore both personal and professional perspectives on these often-stigmatised architectural environments, and to consider how co-design approaches might contribute to more sustainable and inclusive housing futures.

At a time when many post-war estates are facing demolition only decades after their construction, the conversation will reflect on how the original ambitions of social housing could have been strengthened through the active participation of those they were intended to serve.

As community-led and co-designed housing becomes more common, this discussion aims to imagine new, inclusive standards for designing homes and shaping communities.

Date: Tuesday 17th June, 18:00 - 20:00
Location: Auto Italia, 44 Bonner Rd, E2 9JS
