POWER STATION: Film Screening
Saturday 16 May, 6.30pm – 8.30pm
The Deep End: 21 Nithsdale Street G41 2PZ
Two artist-activists, Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn, set out to equip the houses on their street with solar panels, transforming the neighbourhood into a power station.
Power Station follows the duo’s turbulent journey, from pitching the idea to their neighbours and raising finance by sleeping on the roof and launching a bid for a Christmas number one. At a time of climate crisis, rising living costs, and fuel poverty, this film asks a simple but urgent question: what if the power we need is already here, in the people around us?
Stick around for a post-screening conversation with Scott McAulay, the Glasgow-based climate justice activist, architectural worker, and writer who features in the film. We'll explore how ideas from the film connect to action here in Govanhill and across Glasgow, with practical ways to get involved in grassroots change at neighbourhood level.
