There goes the neighbourhood: Redfern gentrification gets an arty critique

How is gentrification altering the relationship between democracy and demography around the world? A handful of artists from here and abroad have tried to answer this in “There Goes The Neighbourhood’’, an exhibition, residency, discussion and publishing project reports Central on 30 May 2009.

The project explores the politics of urban space, with a focus on Redfern. Curated by Alexandria’s Keg de Souza and Chippendale’s Zanny Begg, a range of events will run as part of the project until June 27 at the Performance Space and CarriageWorks. Pictured is a production still from the project, featuring Wasana and Naryma Dixon in de Sousa and Begg’s interactive boxing game Pemulwuy Dream Team. Visit http://www.theregoestheneighbourhood.org.
