Save Some Space (The Time We Call Our Own Online #4)
Across the country, many music venues are involved in embittered struggles between property developers and planning departments on one hand, and partygoers and DJs on the other. These spaces form a vital part of the civic fabric, offering time and space for often marginalised communities, yet they continue to be closed down in redevelopment initiatives that favour the short-term profits of unsustainable luxury housing.
Liverpool’s 24 Kitchen Street is one such space, a multi-arts venue and club surrounded by encroaching developments: on 13th August co-owner Saad Shaffi went in conversation with Chris Torpey (Bido Lito) and Emma Warren (author of Make Some Space and Total Refreshment Centre family member) to talk about nighttime economies, nocturnal cultures and the civic fabric.
This event is part of The Time We Call Our Own, an exhibition and series of online events around nightlife, identity, and how photography shapes our sense of shared experience, led by Open Eye Gallery and supported by SEVENSTORE.
