MIGRANT
ANIMACIES.
ARTIST Charly Monreal Pizarro
FERAL ECOLOGIES Humans, Cultures, Built Infrastructure
LOCATION London, UK
CONCEPT Migrant Animacies. explores the social choreography of a roundabout in Elephant & Castle, home to one of the largest Latin American communities in London, in the wake of the demolition of the Elephant & Castle Shopping Centre in 2021. What was once a venue that animated social and cultural life in the neighbourhood has since been discarded and dismantled in favour of other interests, leaving behind a notable absence. The film charts the movements of a community who must now find new routes and social spaces across the neighbourhood, but whose vibrancy continues to reverberate across the urban space.
