Transition Town Brixton

I thought that this workshop held in Brixton may house the potential to assist with the development of my project since its current focus orients around de-centralising production, de-monopolising and community base manufacture.

Transition Town is a movement which provides a framework for reducing interested towns/communities carbon footprints through a series templates, it was initiated within the UK and has since been adopted globally to much critical acclaim.

This particular workshop, as the title suggests revolved broadly around issues to do with local food security, food recycling and growing initiatives. The debate took place over the course of the day and provided a rich insight into members of the community who are actively seeking alternative methods of cultivation, recycling, rainwater harvesting etc... We brainstormed, ideated and partook in a series of activities relating to the community/city and possible within future scenarios and to top it off a liberal dousing of hand-holding and meditative breathing was thrown in for good measure. I'm slightly kidding.
