A running jumping throbing story for the locally minded. The Dalston Project is an idea to promote those ordinary folk living in a community oft disregarded. These aren't the movers and shakers, they are the ones who feed, water, clothe and entertain the movers and shakers. And we wanted to tell their story. They make up the Dalston community

Really intelligent review of the project in Slow Guides
So we have been reviewed. Which means we are doing something right, hopefully and touching a nerve with the right community and people who think about things in the same light.
The article captures the ideals of the Project; that we want people to see the personalities in the community that give society a real buzz. Hayley from Slow Guides really hits the nail on the head by saying that we want people to leave and go explore the area.

Thanks

The Project is coming along. We have a venue, (pretty crucial that) we are looking for more people to take part in the exhibition so get in touch if you feel you have a story.
People and places we are talking with at the moment:
The gents at Sound and Music on Dalston Lane
Their story encapsulates exactly what we are working towards, people with a history and a strong link to the community; people know and depend on them. Their business is threatened with closure. Hackney Council has helped them so little its untrue. Wait for the exhibition to see more.
If you know them or want to tell us about Sound and Music,
get in touch
Market stall fruit sellers in Ridley Road
They have been there for ages, decades even, flogging to a changing collection of consumers, always ready to give an anecdote or observation. Their story is colourful and touches many.
>> If you know Mark and Peter from the very first fruit stall on Ridley Road Market, get in touch
