Long time...

I 've been away from you for so long its hard to know where to start. So much has happened and in some ways, tangible ways, so little. I step between what feels like two worlds, those of activism and some kind of creative processes. Neither one is there, fully there for me, or should I say enough for me.

Just before even tapping into this I was working on two documents, one a report of what ward activity had gone on in the Hackney campaign against cuts and the other pulling together feedback from people from the week I made use of the gallery to explore and express some of the research I had begun to immerse myself in. A little too much of everything perhaps? What do they say or someone once said 'a smorgasbord' of possibility which then I leave people to wander through. Or really was it much more for me? For me to have a room to put see still images, to test them across 3 screens, to have conversations, to be with people and attempt to have a dialogue about what I was trying to do but also extract their thoughts, What do you think about what is going on? It was more important than what do you think this is or what do you think about creativity and and the use of arts for change.

Will add the feedback separately, without names for now as I have not asked for that permission.

What else, without too much conscious thought? The film, shall I, can I work on it? It makes sense as a discussion within the current political climate not just to document what is going on but to relate some historical, the 80's, campaign and how that might relate to today, does relate to today. I want to show you a little of what I saw but really still never ever knew what it was and what it truly meant.
