‘Where Will The Flight Take Us?’ is a community art collaboration project which culminated in a celebrational outdoor street event. Kate and Robert worked with a local school, Preston Street Primary, encouraging the pupils to imagine and draw their own bird. They were inspired by the meaning of birds, both real and imaginary – what they can tell us about ourselves, the environment, community, migration, climate collapse. Their pupils’ work was digitalised, formed into a short animation along with a soundscape, and then projected on the buildings surrounding the Causey at a public event. The Causey is currently an ugly traffic island but the space was magically transformed with the animations, demonstrating the power of imagination and creativity in place transformation and strengthening community bonds.
