I have recently been visiting a variety of places to try to talk to different sectors of the community in regard to the project and how they can contribute paper towards it. I spoke to the Haringey Branch of the University of the 3rd Age last week and visited a Sure Start Centre today. It is a little odd going into venues where people gather with no express interest in art to talk to them about my work – it feels a bit like some sort of guerilla lecturing! Fortunately most people are polite enough to listen and some really engage with what I am trying to do – but it is hard to gage any follow up interest. I have set up a facebook community page
www.facebook.com/MappingMuswellAnN10PaperProject
and new likes are a useful indicator, but this kind of forum is not within the realms of the ordinary for some of my target audience -the older citizen or children under 13.
Any thoughts anyone?
