Projects
This three year initiative aimed to establish a greater knowledge and understanding of community-led cultural activity in Peckham.
The project took its title from a conversation that Bennett had with an older friend. Speaking out of turn, the artist was met with the reply “Yuh Figet Yuhself!”. The statement was made in jest but served as a reminder that she had literally and figuratively forgotten herself.
This project celebrates the distinct dialogues of a multi-generational group of participants and mediums of ‘insistent archiving’ that preserve the wealth and variance of these narratives.
<i>Memories for the Future</i> is a hyperlocal community-led programme that researches and responds to the intangible heritage of the people who shaped Peckham’s iconic Rye Lane.
