Post-apartheid Woodstock is one of the few areas where low-income residents have been able to maintain a foothold close to inner-city work opportunities and cultural amenities. However, the area’s historic cultural fabric and socio-economic diversity are increasingly threatened by soaring property prices that tend to make life for long-term tenants more and more unaffordable.
In light of the adverse effects of this process known as ‘gentrification’, we would like you to participate in a dialogue, inspired by the international documentary “Not in my neighbourhood” by Kurt Orderson.
This event will also be an opportunity to share stories and personal experiences, as well as to explore alternatives for more inclusive urban development in Woodstock and Cape Town at large.
As part of this event we will have:
Kurt Orderson – Filmmaker
Mohammed Rahim (Rashied) – Woodstock Community Member (respondent to film preview)
Jodi Allemeier -Moderator and facilitator
