This Was Tomorrow
Is this the future we were dreaming of?
For the past year I’ve been photographing community-led housing across the UK - cohousing, community land trusts, self-build, co-ops. A dozen communities the length of the country, shown as large prints with the residents’ own voices beside them.
It’s starting to go up on walls, and I’d love you to come and see it.
