Concrete Steps is a record of weekly walks, every Wednesday evening at 18.30, around the Aylesbury and Heygate estates in Southwark. The meeting point is Pembroke House and the walks last about an hour. We take the same route each week. But, though we do not wander, we do let fancy lead our senses in finding new windows through which to look, listen, smell, taste and touch the place. I recommend some tasks to facilitate this. The participants are free to perform them, or just come along and do as they wish. Everyone is also free to use the results of the tasks in whatever way they see fit, in their art, in their day- dreaming, or as a souvenir of a distraction.

The idea for these walks came from a similar project, entitled ‘Five Ways to Walk Towards Yourself’ run by my friend and teacher Angus Balbernie with Rosalyn Maynard, in Haldon Forest, Devon, in Summer 2007. I wondered what the difference was between that and big Brutalist council estates made of concrete. I have mulled it over for the last few years. Now it is time to start walking.

The community garden used to be a piece of unused land.

The staff at Pembroke House were very keen for the community to be involved, so it just Pembroke Academy of Music was set up in 2002 to provide started with speaking to people locally, going around knocking music education at subsidised rates to children and young on doors, leafleting, having meetings, exchanging ideas off people living around Pembroke House. people and seeing what they thought it could be used for.

A poem by Olubunmi Kanyangu at Surrey Square Primary School

To make a community there must be equality and justice With tall people, rich people, gracious people, musical people Mosques, churches, temples and synagogues. There must be gymnastics, musical theatre, football clubs and acting classes. There also should be Turkish people, Nigerian people, Gambian, English, Chinese, Bangladeshi and wherever you come from. As well as happy people, sad people, environmental people, peaceful people. Beautiful people, educational people, and, you know, famous people. We are all different in our own ways, so respect our differences, other people’s culture and differences, and maybe, just maybe they’ll respect you, including people with mental illnesses, Southwark people, lazy people, sleepy people, homeless people, smart people, and B+ students.

Leave it to settle then add a bit of friendship and put in the oven for 10 minutes. After that when it’s finished, for decoration sprinkle some Surrey Square primary school core values and togetherness, also a lot of community. I’m Bunmi and I’m very unique.

It smells like a zoo, a ghetto, a park, a pot-pourri of herbs: lively. It looks like a carnival, some roses, a burning bush.
