The Book
A book also titled HOXTON STORY was published to accompany the production. The book contained extracts from in depth interviews conducted by The Red Room team with twenty-five Hoxton residents that included squatters, council workers, community activists and artists. The interviews explores their dreams, disappointments and achievements in relation to the land and environment of Hoxton, as home, work and recreation; as public space and as capital waiting to be realized.
The book also features a newly commissioned portfolio of portraits by Leo Asemota of the residents that were interviewed.
