| Description: | In 2006 a blue fence surrounding the construction of the London 2012 Olympic Park was erected. Since then the fence was interpreted as a symbol of forced regeneration, an endless billboard trumpeting the arrival of gentrification in London’s east end. Creating a series of items that were designed in collaboration with the local community the blue fence project enabled conversations to take place about the development of this area and the effects it may have in the future. A relevant aspect of the project was to document and remember what the area was like before the Olympic Games construction started and to capture the essence of the local community as it currently existed. |
