Meeting Ground: Gus Casely-Hayford & Jayden Ali in conversation

Meeting Ground: Gus and Jayden in conversation on the importance of art, spaces and community in east London.

East London is a meeting point of cultures, generations, and communities. Known as the creative and artistic part of London, the area is now the subject of a new series called Meeting Ground.

Brought to you in partnership with V&A East, Meeting Ground tells the stories of preservation, progression and identity from those that are living, working or making in east London. Comprised of three chapters, each instalment brings together two creative individuals working within the same industries to discuss generational divides; confronting the privileges, tensions and changes that have shaped their experiences.

For part one of the series, curator, cultural historian, and director of V&A East, Gus Casely-Hayford meets with Jayden Ali a maverick designer and East London Native to discuss the importance of cultural spaces in the city, access to art, and how east London will continue to change for future generations.
