Emily Tomlins and I started our creative journey on the ‘Growth Project’ for Melton Council. This is a very large community collaboration project that will culminate in an interactive installation in October 2021.
It was great to start throwing ideas around and talking about the big themes of the project including urban sprawl, community connection and agency.
After a morning of throwing any and every Idea out into the zoom-room, we settled on some questions that we can pose to the participants that will begin the conversation for the project: What do you like about your area now, and what do you imagine it will look like in the future.
We want to keep it as open as possible to allow for the most unprescribed answers and therefore creating the most unexpected results.
We discussed the installation taking on many different forms but ultimately we want the participants to have a say in how it develops.
