The London Festival of Architecture has teamed up with Virtual Design Festival to show a selection of movies from its series Manifestos: Architecture for a New Generation, starting with a short film from artist and architect Ibiye Camp.

Camp's work encompasses everything from clothing to upcycled material, technological installations and film. "The material and medium of my work tends to be informed by the site," she explained in her Manifestos video.

Her practice focuses on postcolonial subjects, technology and the built environment.

Many of her projects have been informed by East Street Market, a market in Walworth, South London that is one of the oldest in the capital.
"When designing, I develop concepts in various scales of the site. An example of this are data collection devices constructed for people to scan the actions within markets," Camp said.
