The We Can Make Chat Show 2019
Knowle Westers sorting out their housing
The We Can Make Chat Show, series 1, brings together people from the garden city neighbourhood of Knowle West in Bristol, UK, to chat about how they are sorting out their housing.
Over four episodes, Knowle Westers explore how communities can get beyond the housing crisis. They share personal stories, uncover inspiring housing ideas from around the world, and think about what would work best for their Knowle West.
Artists were invited to sit in on the recordings, and created poetic and visual responses to the discussions, captured in a unique collection of prints.
