Artists Rebecca Davies, Eva Sajovic and Shane Waltener invite you to visit them ‘in residence’ at Danielle Arnaud. The artists will be sharing findings from their two-year project, Unearthing Elephant, over five days at the gallery. Participate in talks and workshops and help produce small publication that will be launched on the closing night.

Unearthing Elephant is a project devised by the artists People’s Bureau (Eva Sajovic and Rebecca Davies) and Shane Waltener in partnership with Tate Exchange and Stave Hill Ecological Park in 2017. It addresses themes of regeneration, development and ecology, with an initial focus on communities within the Elephant and Castle area. It has resulted in talks, interviews, a presentation at Tate Exchange and an award-winning film.

The project comes out of Sajovic-Davies' 9 years of working in the area in response to a major regeneration scheme planned for Elephant and Castle, which included the proposed demolition of the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre. Although halted by Southwark Council earlier this year, the plans raised issues that have become universal across the UK and internationally, namely the division between public and private space, the rights to one’s city, social justice and community agency.
