Join us for the premiere of a new documentary exploring a black-led self-build in Lewisham.
The film focuses on Nubia Way, an unassuming cul-de-sac of thirteen timber framed houses built by Fusions Jameen, London's first black housing co-operative, on a narrow site in Downham, Lewisham in the late 1990s. Constructed using the principles of Walter Segal, self-builders were offered long-term discounted rents in return for building the homes.
Through interviews with the original self-builders, historians, architects and economists, the documentary celebrates the legacy of Nubia Way and examines self-building as an act of resistance against the housing discrimination faced by Black British Communities.
