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.

Read the review here

Thanks

Progress

The Project is bringing some brilliant people out into the public domain. We meet Baba last week. A 20 year veteran of the market. He came over from Turkey with his brother and picked Dalston because it was where he saw people mixing and being given a chance. A complete character who started modelling with his produce when we asked for a photo.

Baba runs a fish bar and has seen troubled times of late. He is going to one of the main features in the Installation.



The installation is now secured and will be taking place in the fantastic setting of the World War II bunker behind the Print House, just off Ashwin Street.

If you've met Baba or have an interesting story about anyone you now on Ridley Road or E8 generally, get in touch.
