(Mary) Portas Pilot event

Volunteering my services in creating a local community event at South London art gallery 'DoopoDoopo' in which I called on parents and children alike to help create the worlds longest paper high street. I gave each budding artist a single diecut print of a local shop front and asked them to colour in and fill it with what would make their high street great again. The resulting designs were then bonded together and left on display in the gallery for one week before the parents were able to claim their designs and take home. The success of the event led to me being commissioned to create a similar model in order to kick start a Mary Portas scheme 'SEE3' which aimed to fill empty retail units with pop-up shops on short lease lower rents.
