How is it for you, Islington?

Everyone has a different view of change. Some optimistic, some nostalgic, some resistant, but all relevant.

Throughout 2015 CSCA worked on a University of Salford research initiative Ideas4Ordsall, fostering creative activities by supporting people with ideas. ‘How is it for you, Islington?’ is one of the projects we helped to deliver;

In an area of large scale regeneration, residents and visitors to The Islington Estate in Salford give their views on the area, and how it is changing.

The project was created with photographer and writer Len Grant, and St Phil’s camera club. The images produced have been shown and erected at numerous venues around the city, and in the public places where the photos were taken. We also produced 2000 newspapers that show some of the images from the exhibition alongside a narrative of the project expressing some of the views of the people we spoke to and photographed. Here’s an online copy of the newspaper;
