Had a great time back in London on Friday visiting a local school and asking them to join in with a public art development project. applecart are working on 'Stories of Home', a booklet to help children engage with their families about where they have travelled from to be in Tower Hamlets. The end product will be a piece of public art to be part of the housing development on the old St Clements mental health hospital in Bow.
Much of the day was spent collecting souvenirs from the highways and byways around the school. Mainly broken things and drug paraphernalia. We also started collecting documentary footage that will be made into a short film to accompany a small exhibition of the children's work next month.
