Join educator and cultural practitioner Camille Behrens along with Shade Community to see Brixton through the lens of young people. This walking tour invites you to experience Brixton as a lively, interconnected neighbourhood where cultures and generations meet in the streets, parks, and alleyways. From bicycles, skateboards, and children’s games spilling into public spaces to murals, music, and performances animating the urban landscape, the area thrives on creativity and community. The walk also explores how waste, art, and play shape new ways of imagining the city. Along the way, you’ll encounter Kingston Frost Park’s Saturday buzz of cycling lessons, great photo opportunities at Brixton Hill, soccer games, art classes, and a visit to artist Bronwyn Findlay’s studio. Plus, enjoy amagwinya from Ma Jeanette’s kitchen.
