We all need homes...
it needs to be fair
We all need safe, clean homes
it needs to be fair
We all need to be housed.
This is a stunning new project exposing young people's fears about where they will live. Will they ever be able to aford to live somewhere clean and safe? Is it a fair race, or is the system fundamentally f****d and a home is just a modern-day pipe dream?
High Rise Estate of Mind tells difficult-to-swallow truths through a dystopian lens using grime, beatboxing, hip hop, looping and MCing. A fast-paced, urban story about class and housing, frustrations, inequalities and the pointlessness of it all at times.
Featuring Conrad Murray (Director) , spoken word author Paul Cree, rapper Gambit Ace and spoken word artist Lakeisha Lynch Stevens (AKA grime MC Lady KI KI).
