#LFA2024 may have come to an end, but there’s plenty more going on across the city! #StreetAssemblies by Urban Radicals has seen four Street Assembly platforms installed across the City of London, as they #reimagine alternative parliament typologies and forms. Head down to the #PUBLICASSEMBLY for public debate, discussions, performances, summer screenings and small community gatherings, or visit the #ROUNDTABLE, designed for shared meals and discussions that, informally or formally, invite the public to sit down for exchange and deliberation. Reflect on the city and share your opinions at the #SPEAKERSPLINTHS and visit the #VOICINGPOD, to see an archive of seeds historically imported into London, narrating stories of migration and cultural exchange. Created in partnership with Fleet Street Quarter, Culture Mile BID, Migration Museum, Aldgate Connect BID, EC BID with support from Millimetre Makes and AKT II.
