Jan Enkelmann Photography: The Triangle

There are few neighbourhoods – in London or anywhere else – that are charged with a spirit and sense of place like the streets and markets around Brixton Road, Atlantic Road and Coldharbour Lane – locally referred to as the Brixton Triangle.

Today, maybe more than ever before, Brixton is a place of contrasts and colliding cultures with a complex history marked by struggles for equality, justice, and self-determination. The current wave of gentrification is only the latest episode in a succession of profound transformations that have kept changing the face of the area over the decades.

The photos exhibited present a deeply personal perspective on my own neighbourhood, making universal observations that I hope resonate far beyond south London, touching upon themes such as spirit, pride, dignity, transformation and resilience.
