In this episode of The Oeuvre, Farah, Amanda, and Angelika explore the gentrification of East London. A cultural hub once renowned for its accessibility and thriving community of underground creatives, East London is now synonymous with exorbitant prices for thrifted clothing, unique food spots, and rent. How have progressive ideals, whether expressed through an aversion to fast fashion and unsustainable business practices, or through support for self-expression and multiculturalism, been co-opted into a machine of aestheticised overconsumption?
