Its finally here! Following a day of joyful and hopeful exploration of a better housing future, I've created an illustration that captures quotes, learnings and dreams from all the lovely people at the Housing Justice Carnival 2025 🌱 Swipe through to see the whole thing!
When you think housing crisis, you usually thing cost of living crisis, high rent, landlords, mould, cold homes (to just name a few.) The Housing Justice Carnival, hosted as part of Architecture Fringe 2025 and the sunsetting of
@anthropocene.a.s , aimed to reimagine those anxieties and worries, and create a joyful and hopeful space to bring them to the table (from a book club session with
@architectscan 's climate literacy group discussing the Wee Yellow Butterfly, to radical imagination postcard drawing with
@ronabisset and
@bass.arch , to discussions and flip chart annotating with folks from
@medact_org ,
@livingrentglasgow and
@fuelpovertyaction and more!)
It's been many months, but it still remains an absolutely incredible day, full of radical imagination and collective dreaming. Joy and hope are such powerful tools to enable us to envision a better future, and a route to tackle the challenges that we face in order to get there.

![Recently, we hosted a @wecanmakehomes neighbourhood meet-up to celebrate the richness of South Asian Culture, as part of South Asian Heritage Month. The specific focus was on craft and design, which sprung into a beautiful evening of joyous learning and connection The evening began with short talks, accompanied by nimbu pani, mithai and chai, then followed by collective manji-making, bracelet weaving, DIY mehndi and a shared meal. To be able to curate an evening filled with elements from my culture and share that with people was truly restorative.I gave a presentation introducing the various climates in South Asia, and how this, along with shared cultures, has influenced architecture, design and craft. To my delight, it grew its own legs, entangling and connecting with other global experiences and recent conversations, which I have written a piece about [can be read on substack!]#southasianheritagemonth #desi #desiart #substack #craft #desicraft #communalart #wovenart #weaving #manji](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6764162117155049392514_0_a50b24cf5dd0e5ebc19f89ab62480de9.jpg?o=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&h=5f1111ff44d4629bea17a343676d8752)
