Wide game

Lots of photos of the Wide Game mission with the Stanwell Scouts on Saturday 17th May. The idea was to get close up shots of the animals around Stanwell but in the excitment of the mission this got slightly overlooked. Was a great day though, with a soundtrack of scout songs we all felt like we were in one giant Walt Disney film! Enjoy the flicks…

About the Project

Sonia — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 03:20:46 +0000

The village of Stanwell near Heathrow Airport is about to be disrupted by the demolition of temporary World War II houses and their replacement with new homes fit for the 21st Century. In December 2008 artists Luke and Boyd from Signal Project were asked to do a Christmas mural by A2Dominion Group for the local community. Their idea was to create something that was a living artwork in the community, something personal, based on stories and suggestions from the community.

From this early start point an exciting intergenerational community project has grown involving Stanwell New Start residents and local community groups. Over the next few months we’ll be discovering and documenting the stories of the Stanwell residents through artwork and film, with input from the community at every step of the way. This will result in ‘Our Green’, a 50m long mural in Stanwell on St Mary’s Crescent, and ‘Moving Stories’, a 30 minute broadcast quality documentary. Check the blog regularly to see the project develop.

As part of The Stanwell Project integrated projects have been tailored for ten specific community groups. Click to read more about the project and to find details of the community groups and project team involved.
