Barking Metamorphosis: Barking Learning Centre Residency

Barking Metamorphosis is an arts and writing project involving UrbanWords, the writer Yemisi Blake, Platform 2 product design students at the Royal College of Arts, muf Architecture/Art, and Barking and Dagenham Council.

The students from the Royal College of Arts have already populated Barking Learning Centre and Barking Town Square with original chairs, designed from materials found or bought in Barking. There are 6 to find, and 3 more are on their way…

Over the next month, there will be a series of ‘happenings’ at the Barking Learning Centre – from creative workshops with Gascoigne Primary School and Arc Theatre, to the creation of a ‘writer’s room’ within the library. We will be blogging about the project as it evolves, so please bookmark this page, come back to find out what’s happening, and leave us your comments about the project.

Is this one of the RCA chairs, Yem? But they haven't taken off the wrapping. :)

I think your piece of art work is creative and wonderful.
