The Bank of Ideas - London - You Can’t Evict an Idea especially good ideas with a sense of humor :) (photo by Ryan Gallagher) From their site: “The Bank of Ideas is situated on Sun Street, Hackney in an abandoned office block purchased several years ago by the bank UBS. It is an enormous space complete with a 500-seater lecture hall. We’re open to visitors and guests from 12 noon to 9 pm from Tuesday to Friday an from 10 am to 9 pm on Saturday and Sunday. It has been opened to the public for the non-monetary trade of ideas to help solve the pressing economic, social and environmental problems of our time. There is also room for community groups and other public services that have lost their space due to Government spending cuts to come and adopt a space for free. Artists, performers and creatives are welcome to come entertain and to help transform the space. We also encourage games, workshops and skillshares on anything from yoga to yahtzee. The only prerequisite is that this space is not for financial transactions. Trade in ideas or skills, but no one should need to pay to take part in the Bank’s activities.” You can also find out more about this space and the movement around it in this Global Voices post.
