TEAM and COLLABORATIONS
FILM MAKING
Music
For the music we are lucky to collaborate with the band
52 Commercial Road, the underground independent post-rock group living and playing in occupied spaces, bringing their deep atmospheres into the film. And Ed Cox, the original clowncore artist playing his raving accordean and beats!
We are proud to collaborate with local independent artists. Click the links above to check their websites and listen/buy their music.
Graffiti | Art
Very pleased with the inspiring collaboration with talented painter/graffiti artist mORGANICo who paints murals, portraits, skate parks, arts clubs and walls around London! MORGANICO painted a graffiti for Give us Space at Leake Street tunnel in April 2014.
He has also been helping and collaborating with design stuff and DVD covers.
Dance and Poetry
Other artists collaborating with Give us Space: dancer/coreographer Jiska Morgenthal, performed a moving last dance in East London before moving abroad. We filmed activist poet Pete the Temp in the exhibition Made possible by Squatting, with a poem inspired by his life squatting and the need of space for change!
