Episode 5
“Living in a society where artists can’t afford spaces where they can create and evolve makes me really sad. One of the reasons I got involved in building affordable studios was for us to build those connections.”
Stour Trust founder and social justice campaigner Juliet Can talks to Women of the Wick about her journey from Uganda to the UK at the age of 10, what it taught to her about kindness, and how to create sustainable change—that lasts beyond our lifetime.
Juliet Can have been a social justice campaigner for over 15 years. Last year, Stour Trust secured a 149-year long lease of 'The Vogue' in Hackney Wick on a peppercorn rent in providing it with a stable footing until 2168.
