Permanent Temporary For London Design Festival

24/09/22 Till 25/09/22

The bottle Factory

The Permanent Temporary confronts the constant state of flux creatives find themselves in. Creatives in Southwark work in a permanent state of evanescence, as rapid regeneration shifts the ground beneath their feet and spaces for making are redeveloped. Even as the environment around them transforms at a dizzying pace, the fabric of the community remains strong. This event will provide space for creators to showcase their work, giving opportunities for the local community and young people to explore new frontiers of design while opening the door to LDF for a previously underrepresented demographic.

Held at The Bottle Factory, a 126-year-old 30,000sqft warehouse and creative campus just off the Old Kent Road, the weekend-long event will include talks, exhibitions by talented individuals from the area and beyond, music by the area's up-and-coming musicians and food from the local community. By showcasing the work of local residents and creators from Southwark we hope to reinforce the point that their voices need to be heard and considered, while celebrating the diversity and talent that comes out of the area.
