To highlight the important role The Mill has in bringing arts to its local and expanded community, Carla Cruz has produced a wonderful video about The Mill’s community arts programme: Art Works.
Between February and June 2016, Carla worked as a Research Associate for Goldsmiths University of London, based at The Mill. The placement was possible by the AHRC Cultural Engagement Fund. Over this period Carla looked into the emergence of The Mill and the impact it has on the community in terms of reception and production of arts and culture in the borough. Her research also analyses the connection of The Mill’s history with the recent history of austerity politics and the arts in the UK.
