Land/Lines: The Community Gathering
Join us for an afternoon of conversation, community and creative exploration of Land Rights.
Short films | Installations | Zines | Crafting Workshops | Panel Discussions
Over the past few months, 8 young local artists and activists have come together with RESOLVE Collective, Jasmine White and guests to explore how land ownership shapes the way we live, connect and belong.
Through discussion, research and creative practice, they’ve developed new perspectives on the spaces around us and the rights we hold within them.
Whether you’re a nature lover, art seeker, or local history buff, come and hear their perspectives, connect with others, and enjoy a relaxed space while contributing to a growing land justice movement in Enfield.
Supported by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

Drop-In Activities
The Great Devourers: Learn how to spin yarn
With Neal Tank
Learn how to spin raw wool and create tassels. Your creations will be added to the Great Devourers freehand crochet piece, building a collaborative artwork representing Enfield's textile history.
The Great Devourers is a freehand crochet piece inspired by Thomas More's infamous quote on sheep enclosures in Utopia. The piece represents the story of textiles and Enfield, starting in the middle with wool and working its way out to recycled silk and upcycled yarn.
Band Stand of Hope! Collective mural painting
With Zak Philip
Join a community mural painting for a portable community bandstand! Our response to the Land Lines commission has been to design and build a community asset for free music events for everyone and we need your help to decorate it! By painting on this 'Emotion Panel' of our bandstand, you will learn about the beginnings of the project and what is in store for it's future!
Unlocking the Secrets of Nature’s Garden (Immersive Installation)
With Helainah Graham-Campbell
Step into a secret garden and unlock what you never knew,
discover nature’s rhythms and what they can do for you.
Feel the balance gently shift as your mind begins to clear,
Reconnect, reflect, and let your senses align,
through biophilic design, where nature and you intertwine.
Emotional Mapping
Led by RESOLVE Collective
Emotional mapping is a cartographic process built on the writings of Kevin Lynch and used by RESOLVE Collective to visualise the tacit local knowledge of your own areas, describing the memories, senses, routes, and people we encounter in the built environment.
Join us to add your memories, local pubs, parks and routes on a large map of Enfield. We will describe and share perceptions of Enfield while also presenting a moment of pause to converse, to vent, to remember and to revise.
Walkshop
2.30- 3.15pm: Touching Grass Walkshop
With Sara Omar
A walkshop inviting participants to engage in iterative and creative discussions about grass! Focused on imagining new ways of connecting with the land in urban environments, we’ll work to collectively expand our views on the importance and beauty of grass. Come dressed for the weather and ready to touch grass!
Content Information: This activity involves walking as a group from Dugdale Arts Centre to Enfield Town Park
Short Films
Enfield; a site & tool of world building
By Christevie Phemba Ngoma
A film on Climate Justice & Community Power in Enfield. What type of world do you want to live in and how can you start in Enfield?
Enfield/Imperial Infrastructure: Archival Violence of Empire
By Avin Houro
A 15 minute split screen film interrogating how the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield is framed across archives, military histories, and museums. Through drawing, weaving, and narration, the work strips away this language of neutrality, repositioning Enfield as a central site in sustaining British imperial violence.
No Mans Land
By Jacky Flowers
Short film about a new folk ritual about land rights. Part documentary, the film explores the experience of lacking a sense of community on a hyper local scale and how this intersects with the Google data centre being built in Waltham Cross.
Exhibited Artworks
Ajayu (Spirit)
By Michelle Elvira Leano-Escobar
Ajayu (ah-ha-yoo) is an Aymara word meaning “soul”. In Aymara and Quechua communities trees, mountains and rivers also have an ajayu and they are our siblings. As a result, protecting the environment carries a commitment beyond human survival. This artwork is a scanned 120mm infrared and 35mm color film, digital process. Giclée print on cream paper.
No Mans Land

About the Land/Lines Programme
The Land/Lines programme launched at Dugdale Arts Centre in January 2026. Led by local producer & curator Jasmine White with RESOLVE Collective, the programme brought together 8 local young designers, researchers and activists to explore land and spatial justice in Enfield.
The programme involved a 5 week workshop course with guest practitioners: Museum of Enclosure, Maymana Arefin & We Can Make, and local community members: Mo Cross, Jane Brook, and Shaheen Kasmani. We explored the history of land enclosures in Enfield through archives and oral histories, reflected on food growing practices, and imagined alternative approaches to housing and community spaces.
Following the workshops, each group member received a small grant to develop a new artwork in response to the programme. The new artworks will be shared in a zine.
