SUMMARY:The New East End Clearances: Lessons from the Truman Brewery redeve
 lopment (policy conference)
DESCRIPTION:The recent 'Save Brick Lane' campaign witnessed anti-gentrifica
 tion/social cleansing demonstrations not seen in the East End for decades\
 , with thousands of people objecting to the plans to redevelop and corpora
 tise the historic Truman Brewery on Brick Lane - a place of heritage\, cul
 tural and social significance. 7\,500+ peoples' voices were ignored due to
  the relationship between elected representatives\, planning departments\,
  developer interest and wealthy landowners. We ask: how can we ensure a l
 ongterm future for East London's diverse communities without displacing th
 em from their public places?\n\nIn this half-day policy conference you wil
 l receive updates from the Save Brick Lane Coalition and from other live c
 ampaigns and pressure groups. The breakout sessions and interactive campai
 gner-led workshops will adopt 'Theatre of the Oppressed' (Augusto Boal\, 1
 931-2009) methods with a trained facilitator\, to see how we can break thr
 ough our perceived notions of power and structures of oppression towards k
 ey learnings and tangible steps forward. Outcomes from the workshops will 
 give shape to the community's narrative\, shape local policies and the nex
 t stages for the 'Save Brick Lane' campaign. A vegetarian lunch will be ma
 de available with tea/ snacks throughout the day.\n\nThis conference would
  suit many people: if you want an update about the campaign\, activists\, 
 academic/researcher\, local interest groups and active supporters and newc
 omers.\n\nDetails of the half-day policy conference are given below: \n\n
