Get It Done (Can You Hear Me Now?)
Working together with Manchester Central Foodbank, developed a 6 month art programme with individuals accessing the service. We established a number of themes we wanted to explore from our steer group. This included Manchester, housing, food, mental health and well being. We then expanded on these themes each month to create a series of work.
The project led to a co-created map of Manchester featuring key advice, useful services as well as free places to access art and culture. The map had a digital version so users could navigate themselves to each location easily.
The tasks from the sessions were then acculminated into an interactive workbook for more people to get involved in the project. All the entries from the project were then added onto our archive online.
