Play Street Carousel

 

Our Play Street Carousel project helped strengthen neighbourly bonds through the power of play, even while lockdowns and restrictions on public life physically kept people apart.

A suitcase full of art materials and audio-visual equipment was passed between households on a street, on the ‘Play Street Carousel’. Each household used the materials to document a street game of their choosing. A cornucopia of games was collected from across generations, cultures and household types.

We made a film to capture the joy of this project!

And we put the best contributions made on paper into this wonderful booklet of street games – click the cover to download inspiration!
