Description
One book entitled Own De Beauvoir by artist Jonathon Hoskins.
Own De Beauvoir! was a two year collaborative research project and major publication by artist, writer, former Open School East associate and De Beauvoir Town resident Jonathan Hoskins. It explored how archival processes may be mobilised artistically to have practical affects for the political identity of a neighbourhood, through an investigation into how that neighbourhood has become collectively narrativised. By remaining squarely within the single area of De Beauvoir Town, both the project and the publication bring historical material and personal testimony to bear on much broader, current crises of urban space and political action.
