Street Preachers: Windrush Square hallelujah line dancers vs the manosphere

There was an unusual combination of events taking place in Windrush Square last Sunday, with the main area being dominated by what could only be described as a circular line dance.

Standing in the middle of the square next to a large gold cross was a group of musicians singing upbeat songs, with a ‘hallelujah’ chorus that seemed to go on forever (not the  Leonard Cohen version).

A large circle of people stepped from side to side in time with the music.

A congregation of capos.

A large chunk of the square was taken over for the religious line dance.

There was a different kind of celebration going on nearby, with muscley blokes flexing their ample biceps and congratulating each other on  their fitness levels, with some enthusiastic whooping for a particularly strenuous workout.

We’ve been photographing the street preachers of Brixton for over quarter of a century.

They come in all shapes and sizes. Some give hope, some sing some nice songs, some paint a bleak future for us all, while some spread homophobia and racism.
