The project reimagines the potential for common space free from the customary barriers imposed by organisations, systems and governments. We wanted to transform abandoned or under-used spaces, both public and private, on and around Roman Road, without imposing changes in real life.

F_able worked in collaboration with residents in Bow, East London, along with spoken word artists, musicians, visual and performance artists, schools and civic organisations to curate a map-led art wolk navigating Roman Road. During this walk, we invited the audience to interact with eight newly commissioned performances and art installations. We define this project as at method of making visible, via creative and fictional practices, the need for communal, resistant spaces in a city submerged by privatisation.
