Brixton Design Trail launches this Saturday!

[MightyMouse]

Co-organised by an East Dulwich resident, Brixton Design Trail launches Saturday 19 September until 27 September with a series of free events and installations held in key locations including Brixton Village Market, Reliance Arcade, Pop Brixton and Black Cultural Archives. Part of London Design Trail, the week will showcase the wealth of home-grown design talent Brixton has to offer and highlight its potential to develop social, cultural and economic capital within the immediate community and beyond.

Headline projects include a supersized outdoor Street Gallery featuring artworks by ten local Brixton creatives on the facades of the former Bon Marche department store (Ferndale Road); a bespoke Pleasure Garden installation at the Black Cultural Archives (launches Tuesday 22 Sept) tied into the upcoming Black Georgians exhibition; the launch of Connect Brixton, a pattern adorning pavements in key locations created by local designers Eley Kishimoto; live residencies of designer/makers at Homegrown at Cornercopia, and a series of talks at Pop Brixton.
