"The 10 minute video posted by Latin Brixton explores the issues of the day, interviews traders and locals affected by the changes and reflects on an event that was – for the vast majority of people – totally peaceful and, importantly, fun."
Video from a short series of art films/promos, by CSM Art Foundation Student Coco Cripps, Bringing awareness of the proposed wholesale and insensitive redevelopment of Brixton.
This films shows the positive energy of Saturday 25th April 2015 in Brixton.
The song that Coco used for part of the Soundtrack, was being sung as we marched around. It is a Japanese nursery rhyme called Furusato which means hometown. Underneath Coco has looped elements from the Samba band that was playing on the day.
