‘About a Bedroom’ is a living, illustrated archive of the bedrooms Carlotta Solari has lived in since leaving her childhood home - ‘As I draw the outlines of each bed, each window, each floorboard, in an attempt to preserve the past, the room comes back to life, torn open… By arranging and rearranging these humble objects, these pieces of domestic history, I come to understand that nothing is ever truly lost - rather, it is constantly re-encountered.’

The Palace is a loud, emotional portrait of a reluctant goodbye to The London Palace Bingo Club in Elephant and Castle - told through the stories of the regulars that loved and depended on it, and the owner who couldn't save it.

The BAFTA nominated short film, directed by Jo Prichard, will be one of three films that we screen on Sunday 26 Feb at the Lost Spaces magazine launch event.

Every day, on the top floor of an iconic 1960’s shopping centre near the heart of the city, hundreds of regulars take up their usual spots in the London Palace Bingo Club. Some come for the cheap dinners and the free tea and coffee, but many stay to relax, socialise, play bingo, dominoes, gossip, and party together. The film documents how, as the area’s billion pound redevelopment nears its finish, the club finds itself the last piece of the old neighbourhood now sitting within a drastically altered picture, surrounded on all sides by gleaming towers of high-end apartments.

Dear friends, it's been a long journey and we are happy to share with you the trailer of our first documentary: KOLEKTИV! ✨🚀

Our first public premiere will be at the Beldocs Festival ( ) next Friday - if you're in Belgrade we would love to see you there. 💛

Big thanks to our small team for making this come to life:
Director & Producer: David Dawson .marsden Nina Vukadin

Rebel Space in Brixton, as part of the Brixton Design Trail in 2016, was our first ever project. It was a temporary pavilion built entirely from materials we salvaged or borrowed from within a mile radius of the site, St Matthew’s Church Gardens.

At the time, we were super informal, just friends trying to do a ting in their community. But it set off a journey that would keep us in Brixton for years but also launch us across the country, to Sheffield, Hull, Birmingham, Lincoln, Milton Keynes, as well as across Europe, to Germany, Portugal, Austria, Albania, Slovenia, and elsewhere.

Rebel Space informed our design philosophy of using ‘the site as a resource’ and taught us what it means to practice collectively, working redistributively within a network of practitioners we admire and are inspired by.

We are RESOLVE ( ), an interdisciplinary design collective that combines architecture, engineering, technology and art to address social challenges. We’re usually based in London but this week the team is spread across the country working on various projects which you'll get to see on the instagram stories.

Much of our work aims to provide platforms for the production of new knowledge and ideas, whilst collaborating and organising to help build resilience in our communities. An integral part of this way of working means designing with and for young people and under-represented groups in society. For us, design carries more than aesthetic value; it is also a mechanism for political and socio-economic change.

Dear friends, family and strangers, we hope this post finds you well. Most of you reading this will, like us, have had your daily lives affected by COVID-19. For the last few weeks we have been thinking how we as EYESORE could respond to this global situation.

Our interest is forever in documenting the shared experiences of people and communities around the world. In this moment, with over two billion people in quarantine, the shared experience is like none other any of us have experienced before. We felt there is something worth talking about here.

In the next few weeks, we will be launching a new space on our website to bring together the ways in which people around the world are responding to and experiencing COVID-19. Whether it is a photo essay of your time in isolation or an article about a local community organising to support those most in need, we want to hear from you.

All forms of expression are welcome. Whether it’s text, sound, photo, video - or anything else you might think of. We want to document how the world is experiencing and responding to the crisis. Find out more about how to submit your work through the link in our bio and in the meantime - stay safe & stay inside! 💛
