Public Powers
About the project
Public Powers sparks consciousness around the spaces we move through, unearthing who they are made for and all the ways we can shape their future. Together they created 鈥楽onic Sculptures鈥� using dialogue and a highly produced listening environment to plant seeds of inspiration for reflection and debate.
Community Convenings
Artist听and researcher, Nate Agbetu and Chetna Sharma invited audiences听to join them to listen to their 鈥楽onic Sculpture鈥� installations. The listening sessions were paired with a chance to discuss the themes, exchange ideas for claiming public power and food to fuel the thoughts.听
Contemporary Sites of Heritage: Mapping Workshop
We all know one unforgettable part of East London that should be there forever - where鈥檚 yours?听
In this workshop听maps of Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets & Waltham Forest were used to highlight spaces across the east end that deserve to be preserved forever. From the markets to the after school hang out spots, they wanted to illustrate the spaces of gathering and exchanging that are important to communities in our city.听
