“Whitehawk is one of the UK’s most deprived communities, but under the tarmac and Terrace houses lie the remains of one of the UK’s most important Archaeological sites.”

Class Divide Podcast

In May 2024, as part of the Brighton Festival, sound artist Simon James collaborated with young artists in Whitehawk to produce an installation in the Lighthouse’s project space. The exhibition was entitled a Neolithic Cannibals and explored the Neolithic archaeological site and its relationship to the soundscape of Whitehawk today. The exhibition was created in conjunction with Class Divide, a campaign to address the class divide in education in Brighton and Hove. Class Divide was co-founded by Simon’s twin brother Curtis James and is accompanied by a fantastic podcast series.

In this session, we will be talking about the class divide, Whitehawk, education and how sound art can be used to intervene in a fundamentally unjust system.
