Installation texts, workshops and blogging: Mark C. Hewitt
A commission to run creative writing workshops in Canterbury with service-users of Porchlight homelessness charity and to develop texts for an online blog. Alongside this I undertook a series of one-to-one interviews with homeless individuals to create textual material for an installation by artist Nicola Flowers, held at The Beaney House of Art & Knowledge. In another facet of the project, I worked with a group of homeless street sleepers on their alternative tour of Canterbury, a project aiming to raise awareness of the destitution that exists alongside the city's architectural grandeur and heritage.
