Counterpoints is again working with our partners, Canalside Residents Association (CRA), on a plan for a Phase 2 of our Everyday on Canalside neighbourhood project.

First event of the Phase 2 is a Spring Party at the Community Centre on Philipp Street, a day of creative activities including families ‘crafts workshops, street ‘placemaking’ drawing workshop, Brasilian music band and also a Cockney Sing-a-long, face and henna painting, free food by the local restaurant, Humdingers, and more. We are also supporting the dedication of a space at the Community Centre to Terry Downey, the previous CRA Chair and all round beautiful human who we worked with on so many elements of the project. Terry died during Covid-19 and his neighbours will be reflecting on his legacy.

Artist Dana Olărescu joins the project with her collaborative practice of co-creating with communities around the themes of identity and climate justice. Dana will be running a workshop, bringing together the project archive and new conversations and post-Covid world thinking.
