travelling through Greensands
From Summer 2024 to Summer 2025, we worked alongside children and young people on a project focussed on the stories and identities of families living on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller sites in Greensand Country. We regularly visited three sites collaborating with the community on a range of creative activities that explore culture, place and heritage. In June 2025, as part of GRT History month, we visited local schools and took their work on tour with a co-curated exhibition in local libraries.
We had a wonderful time producing and leading the project and was fortunate to collaborate with some amazing local artists:
Photography: Shaun Armstrong
Exhibition Co-Creation lead and Artist: Ross Bolwell-Williams
Artist: Stephanie Papapavlou
This project was funded by Historic England as part of their Everyday Heritage programme.
Apples and Lollipops
This was our first creative project with the GRT community, the video below captures the spirit of the project and our fantastic participants.
This project was funded by The Ragdoll Foundation and was supported by Central Bedfordshire Council.
