Land/Lines: creative explorations in land rights

How are the loss of community spaces, the housing crisis, structural racism and the climate emergency connected?

Join Landlines, a new peer learning project at Dugdale Arts Centre for local people aged 18–35 to come together and creatively explore how land ownership shapes the way we live, connect, and belong.

🌿This project is for you if:

• You’re curious about local history and how it impacts your life and your community
• You want to be a part of a collaborative peer group of like-minded, curious souls
• You’re interested in developing your creativity in a supportive environment
• You want to learn about your Community Rights, including your right to collectively own and protect the spaces you love: skateparks, community centres, parks and even your local pub

💸 Alongside the learning programme, each participant will receive £350 to make a creative response to the project themes, which will be shared in a zine for the local community.

💫 What to expect:

• Each workshop will be facilitated by different practitioners: artists, historians, growers, community organisers, activists
• You will work as a group of 9 people alongside a resident artist throughout the project
• The resident artist will provide one-to-one support and guided activities to support you in developing your ideas and how you want to express yourself creatively
• We will close each workshop with a shared hot meal whilst we digest and reflect on what we’ve learnt
• You will learn about the history of land ownership in England and Enfield, and hear from people who are creating collective and democratic ways for caring for public space that support the local community

📅 Workshops run weekly on Thursdays, 5-8pm at Dugdale Arts Centre:

• 15th January 2026
• 22nd January 2026
• 29th January 2026
