So we finished up early. Sorry for not being able to make it run for longer. The arts grant didn't come in (imagine a lot of people are finding that...). In the end we self-funded and couldn't afford to keep it going a day longer than we actually did.
We are looking to take the exhibition into the community proper and exhibit in and around Dalston so more of the real community can see our work and get to know each other a little bit better.
THIS ISN'T OVER!
We've said that before....but this time we mean it! We're going to take this forward if it kills us. The response from the community and those that came to see it was overwhelmingly positive, more so than even we expected! (see the Slow London review here: http://www.slowguides.com/london/)
It seems that the positives in exploring the real community in an area are inherent to all; finding the people who actually make an area tick, matters.
Give us some guidance on where you think we should take the Project. We'll keep you updated and hopefully see you at our next event,
Cheers
The DP team
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
