Held in common

Our Home Truths series takes Home & Housing as its focus and explores the power dynamics that are innate within our housing system, the bold actions residents are taking together to achieve change and the power of residents sharing their experiences, listening to one another and telling their own stories of home, in their own words.

Putting Down Roots focuses on individual stories of home and housing in Bristol.

Little Spiders looks at how individuals are coming together to form groups and take collective action for change.

Elephants in the Village considers new visions and alternative solutions to Bristol's housing crisis.

And finally, Listening to Community, passes over the Held in Common reigns to Bristol residents themselves, as D-M Withers presents a collection of recordings made with people on their street during the first lockdown.

We hope you enjoy listening. If you have an idea for an episode of Held in Common and would like to share stories from your community, get in touch with Polly on 07545 557001.
