We undertook an arts research project with people from our local community including children from Carlton Hill Primary, the Multicultural Women’s group, Sew Fabulous students and Harriet’s press customers.
I designed a textiles activity where everyone was invited to make a representation of a local place that has meaning for them. Using a wide variety of recycled materials and a backing of interfacing which when heated will fuse the fabrics into place.
Everyone was able to take part as it was easy to manage and left time and space to converse
We asked the questions Where do you rest? Where do you feel most safe?What is your favourite place on London Road? Are there places you don’t like on London Road?
We exhibited at local gallery Lighthouse – See it here
This soundscape played in our exhibition space – Check it out here
