Who Cares? — An installation for London Festival of Architecture 2021
‘Who Cares?’ is an installation for the London Festival of Architecture, by Brixton based design/architecture studios AWMA and Squire & Partners, which explores and showcases what care means to communities.
Following a call for submissions, we set out to identify how we care and how who we care for has changed over the past year as we grapple with the fallout of a global pandemic.
Drawing inspiration from colourful prayer flags, submissions printed on seed-infused recycled paper will be suspended in the windows of The Department Store, the greenhouse in Pop Brixton and the Re:Sole hub in Brixton Village, all forming an art installation and symbol of care that residents and friends of Brixton can enjoy.
The installation will evolve throughout the month of June, inviting visitors to stop and contemplate what care means to them. Once the display is dismantled, the seed paper will be gifted to friends of Brixton to plant, giving the installation a life after the festival through community seed dispersion.
