VOICE NOTES
GHOSTS AND GOTHIC POETRY
MODEL VILLAGES, BEING BIGGER THAN THE TOWN, PATRIOTISIM,
THE ‘WE’ - THE POSSIBILITY OF COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION
HOMOGENIZATION of and legacy of architecture
THE TRACES OF PEOPLE

‘community is formed through the act of imagining’
THE PROBLEM AND PROCESS OF UTOPIAS (WE LOVED THIS PODACST BY ARTISTS Kate Liston and Tess Denman-Cleaver https://soundcloud.com/balticarchive/baltic-podcast-volcanoes-and-utopias)
building on the history of Shoreditch Town hall as a civc building, boxing ring, dance hall, theatre and court of justice we wanted to create a game where audience were creators of the space.
Its motto is ‘more light more power - progress’. Now at the time where there is a space for new appointment and thus an opportunity for collective reimagining of what a space could be, we imagined Shoreditch Town Hall in ruins. We Hope to develop this project for a live audience at some point.
