Interaction installation works of art
A community-led project that celebrated the street life of Woolwich, exploring its past, present and future through public art. Local artists conducted life story interviews with people in the area to create a poetry trail and film that brought together themes of community pride, challenges and activism.
An immersive installation of giant papyrus scrolls, created by members of St. Christopher’s Hospice, Arts Network, Three Cs, and an Asylum Seekers Hostel. The participants designed a series of symbols to represent their life stories from beginning to end, considering the legacy of their lives and how we retell our own personal mythology.
A text-based installation, created through a series of workshops with Slough residents. Participants were encouraged to share private ideas publicly and write words around social issues and shared community concerns. As a result, hundreds of creative writing pieces were developed and written on the walls of a former department store on the high street.
A collaborative piece as part of the Misbehaving Bodies exhibition. Visitors explored and shared their experiences of health and disease though writing and drawing on custom-designed body parts.
An outdoor sculpture of the mythical Pegasus, that journeyed around central London with a band and costumed choir on board. The float was created and embellished in workshops with patients, families, carers and staff of St. Christopher’s Hospice.
A multiple-location social intervention work, looking at the theme of courage. Five site-specific pieces, including puppetry, aerialists, choir, skateboarding and sound installation, unfolded amongst a wandering public.
A community arts project, aimed to inspire people from Witton to raise issues and express their thoughts about the neighbourhood. Over 200 local people took part in the co-design of street banners that represented the local area.
