A body of socially engaged art projects and articles to read
It is impossible to feature all our individual projects on this website, but we we have produced various publications over the years, and produce a few substantial in house publications featuring a collection of projects: these contain beautiful photographs, and writing, with participants comments and a list of partners and full credits, giving a fuller flavour of the participatory programme that goes hand in hand with every performance process and project.
