Thinking and Acting on your Barrio is an interactive installation that aims to tell stories of different communities that have organized to make change in SE1 area, focusing on the Elephant and Castle experience. On the other hand, it allows for visitors to reflect on their own neighbourhoods and think of the actions they could take to affect change.
Visitors are welcome to add to the collective installation using building blocks and making their own personalized 3D models referring to their own neighborhoods. Protest signs can be added to the abstract creations commenting on actions that can be taken. Making allows for participants to re-imagine and reinterpret their lived environments and have a discussion with others in the space.
The piece lets the audience author their own experience and grows organically during the day.
This event has been organised by Tate Neighbour , a charity that promotes alternative and innovative ways of engaging and incorporating migrant and ethnic groups in processes of urban change in London.
