Description

Living in a self-reflective world where online algorithms only help confirm our own opinions, we want a broader perspective. Let’s engage with the people we live amongst, whether we find each other boring or profound, engaged or disengaged, happy or desperate. Each of us will create or perform a piece of art which is actually or figuratively a map of our own neighbourhood or town.  It will be crucial that we do not just shout. The power of language and communication is in everything we do. We will explore the balance between holding core values, valuing experience and expertise, but allowing influence, admitting vulnerability, and staying open, to discover new possibilities. We will try to connect better with the places where we live, trying a range of tools. We didn’t invent any of these ideas, but we’d like to share them together.

6-10 participants will be invited to two workshops in Colchester. We will explore our understanding of community and socially engaged practice, take challenges together, and, with friendly scepticism, share skills, experience and basic tips and tools. In between the two workshops we will each conduct a creative mapping action in our own location.
