LeftCoast, Blackpool, UK
September - October 2021
Real Estate is a residency developed by LeftCoast in partnership with Blackpool Coastal Housing, to embed artists within the Bostonway housing estate. I was resident in the Old Warden’s House between September - October 2021.
Having recently trained as a Shirin Yoku (forest bathing) leader, I collaborated with residents to reframe our doorstep green space as a resource for joy and connection.
Collectively, we grew our knowledge of ecology on the estate; mapping trees, discussing how the gardens are maintained, making jam from blackberries and co-designing a communal gathering.
The project culminated in a sharing of new knowledges, including a bespoke forest bathing walk.
