Producing Partner for Our Sydenham, Her Place: Reclaiming Spaces through Creativity

We have received funding from London Catalyst for a project that will explore the needs and experiences of women in the local area and respond to these through creative practice.
This work will build on our previous project Street SmART which identified a number of barriers experienced by women in the local area. Street SmART demonstrated the impact of creative practice for community building and creating a safe space for women and girls to express themselves.
Over 2026-2027 the project will deliver a series of 10 creative workshops that will help build and promote a sense of community through artistic expression. We will also support two photography tours of the local area to encourage empowerment and ownership. The project will culminate with production of a new public artwork informed by participants throughout the project.

We’d like you to show an understanding of our local community, ensure that the workshops are sensitive to participant needs and help develop better community cohesion through engagement with the arts.
