Grenfell: We Stand With You

A four-day programme of talks, workshops and performances curated by Common/Wealth, in response to Grenfell by Steve McQueen. It addressed the fight for justice for Grenfell and the importance of community activism.

Events included a discussion between survivors and bereaved of Grenfell and Aberfan, along with a community activist from Butetown, Cardiff. Chaired by Peter Apps, author of Show Me the Bodies: How We Let the Grenfell Tower Fire Happen.

Forensic Architecture screened Situated Testimonies of Grenfell, a film that weaves interconnected stories of the night of the fire, from the perspective of survivors, bereaved families, and witnesses. The screening was followed by a discussion between Edward Daffarn from Grenfell United and Samaneh Moafi from Forensic Architecture.

In the gallery, artwork inspired by Cardiff and its communities was on show. Artists included Ophelia Dos Santos, Kyle Legall, Vanja Garaj, Gavin Porter and Jon Pountney. Responding to the theme of community, these works inspired strength and solidarity in the fight for social justice.
