Creative consultancy specialising in contested heritage and decolonising spaces.
OUR APPROACH
We look at the built environment as a medium of communication.
The spaces around us are layered with stories and histories. Through their design and materiality, many of our shared spaces tell stories of conflict and change; memorialisation and marginalisation; colonial pasts and complex presents. We work with clients, educational institutions and collaborators to unlock and explore these stories.
WHAT WE DO
Walking Tours, Consulting and Products
Our consultancy and educational services engage with contested heritage, diversity, equality and decolonising initiatives using creative participatory workshop formats. We focus on the constructive process of 'learning by doing' to foster meaningful engagement.
Come along on one of our regular walking tours about the British Empire and explore the history of colonisation and decolonisation in some of London's most symbolic public spaces. We aim to deliver fresh perspectives on dominant narratives through critical appreciation of the statues, monuments and the built environment. The tours take place in Westminster London UK.
WHO WE HAVE WORKED WITH
Clients, Commissions and Collaborators
We have worked with organisations across the education, heritage, arts and entertainment sectors to support their projects and social purpose initiatives. We create thought-provoking and often fun interventions that engage with narrative and the built environment. By combining critical thinking with creative exercises, we add value to academic skill sets and provide a richer perspective for creative disciplines.
