This commission is a reworking and extension of my Walk in Search of the Commons project. It was a collaboration with permaculture designer and teacher Anna Locke for the Care & Citizenship project with the De la Warr Pavilion. Together we produced a new model and resource to support people to be designers of local, place-based community action. The resource is a step-by-step guide to solving problems and making positive interventions that help the community to flourish. We are making this resource widely available through the Transition Town network.

In 2022, I updated the resource for use by the Making it Happen project.
I created a companion audio walking guide, A Walk in Search of our Common Land, specifically for people to use in the Bexhill area. The guide takes you on a journey to identify common land, currently underutilised, that has the potential to become an urban forager’s garden. It contains a series of open questions that connects to the De La Warr Pavilion’s collective storytelling mapping tool Town Tales, Home Stories. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/1026033700&color=%23ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false&show_teaser=true&visual=true
