EXHIBITION

The free Library Sound System designed by Yes Make was part of Small Island Vibes, a free four-day exhibition and programme on Peckham Square in 2022.

This exhibition has now finished.

4–7 August 2022

We believe that libraries and sound systems are important social spaces for learning and joy as well as activism and protection. The structure created by Yes Make for our Summer Programme in 2022 held a free access library that included poetry, fiction and art texts as well as a sound system activated by a series of live music performances.

Yes Make work closely with local communities and care about the impact on our environment. Because of this, timber in the structure came from locally fallen trees and as a result, reduced waste and supported our local economy.

Small Island Vibes is made possible by the generous support of Southwark’s High Street Recovery Fund, Create Civic Change and Arts Council England.
