Abstract
This presentation explores the response of residents in Peckham, an inner city London community, to the riots that took place in August 2011. On a boarded up shop window they created the ‘Peacewall’‐ a mass of post‐it notes declaring their relationships with Peckham. The Peacewall became a national icon of post‐riot renewal. By drawing on anthropological scholarship on south Asian communal riots, and more recent writing on the use of post it notes within corporations, I provide an ethnographic account of post‐riot renewal and an exploration of Post it notes as tools in the staging and articulation of ideas by those in positions of structural weakness.
