For MIF23, our friends at Islington Mill invited you to explore new ways of living and working together. Go behind the scenes on a tour of their redeveloped building and encounter the creative practices and processes forming their queer utopia.
From me to me. From me to you. Can a letter to a past-self create the conditions for a future utopia? Could a set of instructions for how to feed the cat become a revolution? Will an invitation to a meal feed a radical new future?
From conversations with younger selves, remembering the moments when... to tracing lives that have been charged and changed by unexpected interactions.
For a quarter of a century, people at Islington Mill have been exploring queer utopias – holding provocative, fizzy, chaotic and caring spaces where people make creativity their lives.
Before a name, a space, or even a conception, a dream became ambition, and a journey began.
For MIF23, Islington Mill invited you to join them in creating something incomprehensible and new. Try it on. See if it fits.
