The Anthill Social

We are working with working with Mutiny Arts and the 198 Gallery to produce this participatory video and web project, which explores the heritage of Brixton, inspired by unique film footage of Brixton shot between the 1960's and 1980's by Clovis Salmon, a first generation Jamaican immigrant who arrived in London in 1950.

The project has recently received funding of £50,000 from The Heritage Lottery Fund.

Clovis is a 78 year old ex Pentecostal minister, locally known as "Sam The Wheel", due to to his work building wheels at Holdsworth Cycles.

During workshops with local people, youth groups and senior citizens, a series of short films will be produced, incorporating contemporary oral histories and footage provided by Clovis and others.

The project will culminate in an exhibition at 198 Contemporary Arts & Learning, with the final production published on DVD with accompanying booklet and web resource created by www.theanthillsocial.co.uk
