It’s the year 2033 and Hackney Wick has been swallowed by the bleak, unaffordable, cheerless constructions of property developers… Well, not entirely! A small group of indomitable artists still hold out against the invaders. Settled on a little slither of land in Hackney Wick, they’ve made it their mission to celebrate and spread the joy of learning through making, as they work towards their annual act of resistance: a big, loud spectacle floating down the River Lea, to spread havoc and wonder. Across the year, a little shelf was transformed into a travelling theatre that, in the scale of a mouse, allowed to embody the circular economy of the site, and guided design decisions. The student’s own learning through making became representative of the learning of the characters inhabiting the workshop space.
