dwellings
Dwellings is an ongoing project, initially inspired by the lesnes estate on which Amanda lives: six tower blocks and multiple houses are set for demolition there. This is part of a much broader redevelopment scheme, and she is in a unique position as a resident to bear witness as the estate is being physically degraded during the slow transition.
Amanda wants to open up a conversation about housing and the use, misuse, and non-use of properties in England. She recently held a work-in-progress exhibition as part of PhotoMonth 2025, showing images from Dwellings, and giving space for dialogue amongst visitors. She was also part of a panel discussion at Dr Sofia Greaves’ exhibition (Un) Affordable Housing on 24th October. This was the culmination of Greaves’ research this summer around a Bow Arts scheme that provides affordable housing for artists, through an agreement with Peabody Housing, and utilising some of their ‘end of life’ properties. All of this is rife for comment and opinion…
