Art, Artists and Gentrification

What is gentrification? How far are artists complicit - wittingly or not - in processes of social cleansing? What can artists do to fight it? Juliet talks to artist-academic Alberto Duman (http://www.albertoduman.me.uk/main.htm) and 'Savage Messiah' author/artist Laura Grace Ford (http://lauraoldfieldford.blogspot.co.uk/) about gentrification, and the role of artists within it.
