Background
--
Slack Space is a 'grassroots regeneration' movement (regeneration is
by us as well as for us). The point is to make better, creative use of
dead, empty, missing buildings in the city, and have everybody
(landlord, neighbourhood, local authority, etc.) happy about it. But
also to move towards a more flexible 'space economy' - the way in
which a space is talked about, how we describe it and define it (who
owns it, who can use it, how easy it is to give it to someone else,
how easy it is to change the use of the space).

Time: 7pm sharp - 9pm
Price: £3
Format: Q&A. Four to six speakers. Instead of the usual method of delivery: Talk about what you do, talk about what you've done, Q&A session etc., speakers will talk about what they do through questions alone. This allows the audience to ask them anything that they feel is relevant, rather than the speaker assuming what they might find interesting
London Road Sound Maps
Graeme from Coachwerks is working with Matt Weston from Slack Space on Esther Springett's Sound Maps of London Road project, which is part of this year's adult learning festival. [view press release]. We will be recording sounds all over the London Road area and creating an interactive map from them, which the public can contribute to. For more info and details on how you can take part, visit the website www.londonrdsounds.co.uk
Upcoming : Slack Space
NEXT MEET TUESDAY 22nd SEPTEMBER
Slack space organised a practicalities meetup at Coachwerks - with the aim of connecting people who haven't got a space with people who have, so they can talk about how's, where's and what's etc.
Below are some photos of our first night. We had several speakers and had a good time working towards people's individual projects.
- Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=55317964802
- Slack space is a movement to put projects into empty buildings (and have everybody happy about it).
- To make better use of the space in the city and make it more conducive to starting projects.
- If you have a project that needs a building or a building that needs a project, you can use the wall space to let the other people in this group know http://www.facebook.com/wall.php?id
