Join us to make Ground News – a local newspaper, made through collaging and sharing stories of children and families.
Inspired by nature found in Croydon, each workshop will have activity stations to make collective “news reports”. We will be playing with printing, making photos with plants, writing and photographs. Everything generated during these workshops will be made into a newspaper. Participants, families, neighbours and the wider public will be able to get their own copy at a later date.
ABOUT KNEED
Kneed is a collaborative practice formed by Ishwari Bhalerao and Leonie Rousham. We are interested in building systems of care, support and resistance where external pressures are causing these to be exhausted or lacking. Our workshops and studio practice focus on collectivising experiences, memories and stories around our ecologies, labour, time and care, mobilised as tools to resist systems of oppression, exhaustion and isolation. Our approach to making work is centred around process, conversation, imagination and friendship.
