You are cordially invited to a Photographic exhibition to mark one year since Elephant and Castle shopping centre closed.
An exhibition of photographs of the Elephant and Castle shopping centre will be taking place this Saturday 25 September2021 at flat 70 on Sayer St, SE17 1FY at the Elephant and Castle, opening 12 noon, to 8pm.
The exhibition will emphasise the importance of what was lost when the shopping centre was closed, but also highlights the successes and struggles of the small independent traders since losing their premises and market stalls.
A relocated traders walking tour will start at 2pm. There will be speeches from invited guests at 3pm. Various performances will also happen throughout the day.
The exhibition has been organised by flat 70 co-founders Anthony Badu and Senam Badu and Latin Elephant, the local charity which campaigns and advocates on behalf of all traders at the Elephant. It will form part of a wider ‘Elephant Carnival’ which aims to celebrate the resilience of the local community.
