2 weeks and counting
The Exhibiton is almost ready. The subjects have had all their pictures taken (mostly) and we are pulling out the key parts of the interviews to hopefully show what the real Dalston has to offer. The ambition is to show those attending that Dalston not just a conduit from the City to Stoke Newington, that it's not just for creatives, but that there is a prevalent and continuous strong community in Dalston and that those that live and work in the area have a rich story to tell.
Those taking part are all connected to each other and we hope that you may know some of them too.
To give a fresh approach, as we are asking for you to explore a new side to Dalston, we're simply going to give you a torch and go and find it for yourself.

Congrats on a positively brilliant blog!
ReplyDeleteI have lived in Dalston for 6 years now and I love it.
Yes Dalston is poor but it is not desperate. It may be rough around the edges but it is vibrant and alive and kicking with life and personality. It is NEVER boring! It is what it is - choka with marvellous characters from all sorts of backgrounds.
My favourite place is Ridley Road Market! It's just a hive of activity and the best place to people watch.
