Since 2010, roughly one hundred youth clubs have been shut down in London alone. vPPR have been listening to teenagers, giving them a voice and working to understand their specific needs, so they can reclaim their cities and have access to a space of their own.
This film gives an insight into the ideas and questions being asked in The Garden of Privatised Delights, the exhibition at the British Pavilion for the Venice Architecture Biennale 2021. Manijeh Verghese and Madeleine Kessler, the curators for the British Pavilion 2021, invite us to engage in the debate around the privatisation of public space in Britain today; from the pub to the playground, common land to the garden square, the high street to facial recognition technology.
