Installation Launch

12/9/2013

 

Consumer Spirit - Life and Death of a Plastic Bag at St Luke's Church

This installation project will be launched on Thursday 12th December with a switching on of lights to bring the front of the church to life with light and colour. This is the culmination of a year of workshops and designwork to create plastic panels out of plastic shopping bags.

Working in collaboration with Urban Strawberry Lunch we have held workshops with homeless people, young people (NEETs) and members of the public. All the panels have been made in these workshops and represent a diverse group of local people and their stories.
