This event is an audio-walk that takes place across various locations around Lavender Hill in Battersea
The people of Lavender Hill is an audio walk composed for and from Lavender Hill.
Subverting the usual historical city walking tour, you’re invited to pause – perhaps at the hairdressers, the corner shop, or the late night takeaway. Hear from the people behind the counter in this audio portrait of individuals who all happen to work along the same street.
Intentionally made with a mix of people who have citizenship – by birth or application, and people who don’t – by choice or circumstance, The people of Lavender Hill asks how we come to be somewhere, why we stay, and what it means to live side by side. It invites reflections that span nationalism, neighbourliness and plans for tomorrow.
The people of is a complex, transient, portrait of place, re-made across different cities, from Recklinghausen, Germany to Manchester, UK – and now London.
‘It’s more than remarkable. Truly. It’s a completely new view of a place that only seems familiar.’ Recklinghäuser Zeitung on The people of Recklinghäusen Süd.

Biographies
Quarantine is an award-winning ensemble of artists and producers making cross-disciplinary work that explores what it means to live right now. Founded in Manchester in 1998, they create and tour projects around the world that are both intimate and immediate in their relationships with people, and global in their reference and scope.
Quarantine is known internationally for intellectually rigorous, socially progressive and inventive art that questions who gets seen, whose stories are told and who stands in for whom. Questions about representation lie at the heart of their work.
