Achilles! Fanzine Launch Party
8th July 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Achilles! is a fanzine about the Achilles Street area in New Cross, South-East London, which is under threat of regeneration by Lewisham council.
4 blocks of houses and 2 rows of shops face potential regeneration, a euphemism for total demolition.
The zine is a space celebrating the existing area and people of Achilles Street. It is a time capsule, a love-letter, a plea for a conversation around regeneration.
Featured are profiles on residents of Achilles Street, emphasising their personal histories in addition to local creatives’ contributions. The fanzine itself was designed and made by project director Lilah Francis with two residents: Jacqueline Utley and Christian Codjoe.
Join us at Vinyl Deptford for the official Achilles Fanzine Launch Party. The zine will be available to purchase for £2 with 50% percent of proceeds going to the Achilles Stop and Listen Campaign.
We will have live poetry by John Robert Clarke, AKA Jazzman John and a DJ set by the Codjoe brothers, who are selecting tracks based on their experiences of growing up in the area, further acts to be confirmed.
