WE’RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER
Working with the visual language of protest We’re All In This Together is a social art project carried out in collaboration with young people from the Pilion Trust charity based in North London.
Participants’ musings on London’s housing crisis were taken, abstracted and converted into digital prints which were then used to produce textiles. These textiles were used to make 28 interlinking garments that joined together at the ‘arm’ to form a structure.
The shape of the structure replicates a Monopoly house and 80% of the materials used were salvaged from building sites. The structure is without function and offers no security or protection from the elements. This is designed to mirror the redundant, tokenistic efforts that characterise numerous government’s lackluster attempts to address this ongoing crisis.
