A lot of citizen led change has happened in Spacemakers park over the last 2 years. And there are more changes on the horizon. This will be an event to:
Celebrate the parks history (Sharing the story of the original youth-led project that created the space)
Shine a light on the recent improvements and the young people that took part.
Meet the people that are working to improve the park, share our plans for the future and encourage local people to get involved.
We would like to work with local people (including the young people that have taken part in improving the park over the last two years) to design and personalise this sign.
The original spacemakers project was about young people having a sense of ownership and pride in their local park ad this is something we have been working to re-ignite.
We would like to work with a local artist to support residents to decorate the large spacemakers sign in a way that represents and celebrates local people.
I would especially like to give local young people the opportunity to feel part of something and to have a public piece of art that is their own creation.
This event received funding from Bristol City Council to take part in Bristol Community Festival.
