Peckham Space in Peckham Square is currently showing Slipstream by artist David Cotterrell, a film which takes residents stories as its starting point and explores social, geographical and personal histories of North Peckham.

Slipstream by David Cotterrell  24 May – 30 July 2011

The exhibition includes an interactive map to which we are adding stories and memories of North Peckham   We would like to invite you to contribute your stories and memories to this project. The questions below might help you to tell us your story about the area.
