Shuffle Festival Details
Shuffle is about living in the city – in the best way possible. It's about the quality of spaces in the city and the interconnectedness of people who exist in these places. Shuffle is about really being in a place and continuing to make a place more beautiful, interesting and full of opportunity. It is about shaping a place for living well – not to maximise profit – the death knell for so many parts of London that were once interesting. This is achieved by the new concept of 'placemaking' - in line with what the local community, from elderly custodians & young families, to young children, feel is important. The way Shuffle hopes to succeed in this mission is through three main areas: 1. Affordability 2. Participation + the combining of cultures 3. Design and creativity of the space By acting in and around Mile End we hope to establish this 3-part model as a counterpoint to current regeneration trends: 1. St Clements street frontage – which was campaigned for and won as a permanent cultural hub through Shuffle 2013 and the finer details for how this will work are being developed by the team. 2. Linking existing community centres and public places to create a comprehensive place, through programming and permanent spatial, architectural and mixed-use projects. Places include Southern Grove Community Centre, the Maplin St streetscape, the vacant former women's workhouse on Southern Grove and Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park. 3. Resisting bland gentrification and homogenisation by providing spaces and programmes that both appeal / are run by different groups within the community and operate on the different strengths and interests of these people. Shuffle's beginnings Shuffle Festival started as an initiative of The East London Community Land Trust, is run by a small group of individuals and aided by hundreds of volunteers. It originally operated on the grounds of St Clements Hospital - a former workhouse and psychiatric hospital in Mile End.
