Assembling Dialogues

Assembling Dialogues were immersive and multisensory and interactive installations as part of re:connections. The events were co-curated with Claire Hickey and Emily Warner and followed the re:connections walks led by Hickey and Warner. The installation layered and assembled material gathered as part of the walks (images, tactile objects, taste, smells and sounds) alongside planning documents, press articles and historical maps. To bring together the real and imagined to create thirdspace.

In addition to materials gathered or made during the walks, Kaye Winwood created food experiences; Jieling Xiao created scents; Remi Andrews and Will Taylor created a sound piece responding to Lee Bank and to conversations we recorded.

Three events took place: two events with participants of the walks and other residents, and one event with outsiders - Birmingham City Council planners, housing professionals, artists and public health professionals.

Finding Place

Finding Place was an R&D project that took place in Morecambe, North Lancashire. Jenny Peevers devised and directed the project, working with artists Ellie Barrett and Jamie Jenkinson and geographer Katie Oliver. A walk with local people was led by Ellie Barrett, who introduced sellotape as a way to explore and interact with the environment. A collaborative video was created by participants, guided and edited by Jamie Jenkinson.
