Start with a place (2024) Commissioned by Film London FLAMIN Animation
Working with archival sound from the 1960s – 1980s, Gisela Mulindwa’s Start with a Place reveals how decades of gentrification has transformed areas of south London beyond recognition. Created with photographs taken by the artist in Brixton, Croydon and Peckham, the film is a collaged snapshot that exposes the deep roots of a crisis that is continuing to price local people out of the capital.
