Students at Clapton Girls’ Academy, Hackney London , and Brampton Manor Academy in Newham London, have been developing a ‘micro’ social intervention in collaboration with local markets and shopkeepers, by building a number of cultural exchange points.

Working with the designers Namuun Zimmermann (Studio Sain), Rike Glaser, Adam Blencowe and Thor ter Kulve, the students questioned how migration has changed, how its has developed the geography and history of the local environment and speculated what impact Brexit might have on the two multicultural areas.

They created artefacts which demonstrate the social, cultural and aesthetic interaction and placed them at key point along their local high streets - linking up to create a trail for audiences to follow.
