The Brixton Pound was born in the aftermath of the financial crash of 2008. In the intervening 13 years dirty rotten thieving bankers have become the least of our worries, yet the need for economic alternatives has become ever-greater.

Join us tonight and be the first to hear about the next incarnation of the Brixton Pound – Open Source Society. In an evening of high-tech-meets-big-hearts we‘ll be exploring the blockchain, NFTs, and how Brixton is going to rewrite the rules around what is valuable in society. There’ll be plenty of opportunity for group discussion, getting involved, and in time-honoured Brixton Pound style, a party.

Welcome to the Space In Between. Over eight days, a series of talks, events and happenings will unfold across Brixton celebrating our Creative Enterprise Zone.

Responding to the last 19 months, we will be exploring the times in which we find ourselves. As we slowly surface from shared slumber, into the realisation that this is the decade when EVERYTHING WILL CHANGE, it is up to us to similarly see that EVERYONE CAN CHANGE.

The late David Graeber said “The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make, and could just as easily make differently.” We stand on the margin of making differently, to move from this reality to the next, we must step into The Space In Between.

This is an opportunity to embrace the pluriversal; immerse ourselves in the stories that rarely get explored, to see the world through the eyes of others. We have an opportunity to tend and nurture the soil in which we expect to grow new seeds for a community with creativity and care at its heart.

We will sit with difference, make ourselves uncomfortable; we will talk, but most importantly, we will listen.

Our explorations will come together under five key strands: Creative Futures, Culture, Ecology, Economy and Place.

We invite you to join us on a deep and empathetic dive into the nooks and crannies of our community to the fundamentals of our permaculture.
