Still buzzing with ideas from yesterday's #Brooklynism symposium - how can artists make fairer cities? And how do we enable artists to *resist* being coopted into gentrification when corporate work pays the bills! @CoConHum @KelhamIsland sheffield.bigstamp.uk/from-b…

Ben also questions the heritage-focused approach: rather than only looking at the past, can we be more imaginative in how we imagine the future of the neighbourhood, the architecture, the community? #heritage #brooklynism

Ben McGarry from KINCA recognizes that #Kelham is an enclave and a community of apartments - their goal is to get people out of their apartments and participating in social inclusion and industrial & natural conservation #Brooklynism

In Kelham Island at the #Brooklynism symposium today. Reflecting on art and consumption, what makes an area ‘genuine’, regeneration as a process past and present, how to position myself as an arts researcher
Amanda Wasielewski @awasielewski asking some important questions to kickstart our symposium @AHKExchange @KelhamIsland #brooklynism

.@YellowArch sees current creatives as a continuation of people in Kelham trying to make a living, incl. former factories and the sex workers of a decade ago. 'Gentrification' doesn't accommodate this nuanced understanding & the variety of class and work it includes #Brooklynism

Interesting discussion on art, artists and regeneration at @KelhamIsland with @CoConHum @AHKExchange Is it, sadly, a self destructive relationship? #brooklynism

Three crises that are changing or have changed Sheffield: climate change, ecological and social inequality. Can Kelham be part of the solution? #brooklynism – at West Midlands, England

Annie Thirlwell-Hicks @Anniefrax points out how conflicted many of us feel - we want to see artistic and creative output, but it easily becomes a conservative cycle of consumption by those who can afford it - making it impenetrable to genuine creatives and creativity #brooklynism

SWB describes how @KIAC1 produced artwork to 'brighten up' an area they care about - which was immediately used by developers in marketing and sales material. To what extent are artists complicit in the way these are used? #brooklynism
