The South North worked with the community of Broadwater Farm, commissioned by Haringey Council regeneration and outreach team to develop a grassroots led arts and culture programme. 

The pilot project began in July 2023 has now come to a close and we are currently evaluating and working with the Council departments to propose an ongoing programme that would see arts and culture embedded across all areas of Council delivery. 

The pilot delivered a series of creative workshops and worked with artists / creatives such as Bee Veronica Moore, Bhajan Hunjan, Shepherd Manyika, Mark Applegate and Tessa Hunkin and TSN'S own historian and creative producer Jade Chao. A trip to Tate Britain,  exhibitions featuring resident artists Inga Bystram and Henry Murdoch, celebrations and a portrait series of members of the BWF community were created.

Our last workshop (August '24) featured a panel talk hosted and curated by Mark Professor (Selectors Showcase / The Mighty Ruler Sound System) and produced by Jade Chao on the history of Sound System and Music culture in Tottenham. 

Recorded by Community Music, the talk can be watched here: From the Farm to the Streets. In an incredibly rich conversation, snapshots of Black music history are discussed by contemporary performer and entrepreneur Mary Otumahana (aka WonDRWomN) rapper and mental health advocate Shocka alongside the legends of early sound system evolution: Mandingo and MC Navigator and Community leader Clasford Stirling MBE.
