Urban Flow Art Project 2006 |
 Local artists Diane Roberts
& Miriam Troth have been awarded a Bournemouth Arts Grant for a
project they call Urban Flow - a free community arts project
for adults taking place this summer.
Urban Flow is based around the Bourne Stream. The first phase of a 3-part project is called Infiltrate; the second is Source and the third (as yet unnamed) will be at Bournemouth Pier. Miriam explains: "Do
you know
what you are walking over?" This
is the first question we will ask as we meet in the Square. We
propose to make people aware of the existence of the Bourne Stream and its
local historical significance in the
naming of This
section of the Urban Flow project is called Infiltrate and
involves exploring the Bourne
Stream from the Water Tower in Upper Gardens to Our
intention is to plot the route
by various creative means; drawing, watercolour painting,
printmaking, photographing, collaging, rubbings, documenting, collecting, etc. We see the experience of the process being the essential outcome but in addition we would be interested in displaying the documentation. This
project will provide an opportunity for
the artists to develop a high quality event which interacts with the local
community. They expect it to capture the public’s
imagination and the attention of the local press and environmental
organisations. They aim to involve carers and others who have limited
access to contemporary expression as well as the general community.
Miriam

Art. She recently completed an artist’s residency in Both are experienced in working with various community groups and have contact with the Participatory Arts Network. More information about the artists and their work is available from: |
