About

Britt Jürgensen is an activist, artist and creative facilitator working within social movements that reclaim common ownership of housing, land, and energy.

She directed and co-wrote Homebaked’s acclaimed Anfield Home Tour for the Liverpool Biennial 2012. Recent works include Power in the City, with Carbon Coop, Manchester, 2018–2019; Röstånga Bygdebastu, Röstånga, 2019, as well as multiple collaborations with artist Jeanne van Heeswijk.
