Market tales

Market Tales is a cultural–community project, that aims to preserve histories of migration, resistance, and collective organising that are central to the CBS’s identity and mission, through diverse creative workshops, collage, music and film. 

Together, these interconnected strands advance the aims, capacity, and long-term sustainability of the Community Benefit Society by reinforcing its role as the custodian, advocate, and coordinating body for the Seven Sisters Market community.

Funded through the British Academy research project Beyond Gentrification: Latin American Market Tales in London, with researcher Dr Verónica Posada Álvarez as principal investigator from the University of Derby. Additional support has been secured through the University of Derby's Early Career Research Fund to expand the CBS’s consultation on the Community Plan by activating the Seven Sisters Market community space as an Urban Room.
