A screening of the 49min film Another Utopia (2015), by Albert Potrony. This will be followed by a talk to reconsider the significance of the co-operative housing model today.

Through collective storytelling the film charts the journey of a politically engaged and visionary group of individuals, who sought to develop new ways of building communities through co-operative housing. Revisiting the organic and sometimes turbulent emergence of this alternative commune and its subsequent development into a funded co-operative housing entity, the film highlights the conflicts and sense of possibility of the time. Tracing roots from the peace movement, Notting Hill housing activism groups, feminism and gay liberation, the narrative captures a fertile period in recent history.

Artist Albert Potrony has worked in collaboration with members of Abeona Housing Co-operative and volunteers from the local community on a year-long project researching the squatting, short life and housing co-operative movement of the 70’s and 80’s in Camden, London.
