Lottie Child constructs situations that defy the traditional context of museum and gallery environments, focusing on behaviour in urban places. For the last ten years she has been developing her practice of Street Training, a form of extended research and performative intervention. Through Street Training, she explores how we use public space in creative, playful and sometimes subversive ways. She often apprentices herself to children and young people for their skills in seeing opportunities for creativity and boundary pushing. Street Training has has enabled Southwark teenagers to train local police to tell the difference between creative and anti-social behaviour. She lead a group of Venetian children in training planners and architects as part of the program of the British Pavilion at the Venice Beinnale 2010. She is a lecturer at the University of the Arts, exhibits internationally has shown with Tate Britain, the ICA and received the British Council Brazil Links award.

CARA COURAGE / LOOK UP WORKSHOP
28 May 6pm until approx 8 pm
Meet 5.45pm at Peckham Vision, 1st Floor, Block B, Bussey Building, 133 Rye Lane, London, SE15 4UJ
This workshop will involve walking around the Peckham area, even if the weather is bad! Participants need to bring their own camaras or camera phones.
Look-Up is an architecture and photography project with the aim of getting people to ‘look up’ and see what is around them. We do it when we go somewhere as a tourist, but perhaps less so in the place we call home, our gaze down, on our way somewhere, thinking about our everyday things. The criteria for inclusion is simple: has to be an architectural detail, permanent or temporary, old or new, has to be one storey up or more. LookUp is a project by Cara Courage and numerous crowdsourcers, started in Brighton, where a new LookUp was posted daily of the city everyday on 2013. It has since gone on to join the global 'look up' phenomenon with posts from places across the UK and across the world. The PeckhamLookUp will take an urban ramble through the area, taking photos as we go, and then come back to base to create the PeckhamLookUp image library and post online.

LOUELLA WARD & ROSIE WYLLIE / Haven Project
Our project is based around a series of art workshops for homeless adults and staff at Stevenage Haven. The starting point was to encourage participants to make artwork in response to their local environment, using walking as a method of exploration. We hoped to develop creative outcomes, both individual and collaborative, which reflected a range of interests and ideas that emerged from an area that could be considered banal or even hostile, finding value in the ordinary/familiar and helping to build positive attitudes towards the locality. The artwork will eventually be displayed in the new purpose-built hostel at the Haven, due to be completed in May 2015. This much-needed facility will provide emergency hostel accommodation in single rooms offering residents privacy, move-on homes and day centre facilities for study, training, counselling and activities. Here, money is being spent in response to need. The Haven offers a community away from the streets, and enables residents to move on when they are ready and with continuing support into affordable homes in the wider community. Their work highlights the need for affordable housing in every community for a community to be properly inclusive.
