Local, transnational and remote solidarities in a time of crisis
From the COVID-19 pandemic to climate change, Brexit and Grenfell to the racist legacies of European colonialisms and enduring economic insecurities, recent years have been experienced as times of heightened crisis, in the UK and beyond. However, while such collective and individual threats have led many to feel fearful and isolated, in some instances they have also fostered new connections and solidarities.
Hope at the Enclosed Ground
Follow the red brick road and you’ll soon find it: a hidden treasure buried deep in Brighton’s vault. Nestled at the foot of a South Down slope, it’s the proverbial walk in the park for Whitehawk F.C.’s revellers who snake through East Brighton Park’s pathways to happen upon the colourful delights of the Enclosed Ground.
