The Den Project

Since 2007 Laura Robinson and Dr. Liz Stirling have collaborated on ‘The Den Project’ - a joint practice initiating the construction and inhabitation of spaces of creativity. They have invited people of all ages to participate in the design and making of temporary environments as a means of communicating that does not depend on one common language. Last year we shifted the focus of our practice, beyond den-making to empowering people through play in unique experiences.

And finally ...

And then...

Open weekend - 28th March

Today each construction became attached to the one before until the mission seemed to be to fill the space - it was almost complete leaving enough room to get in and out.
Meanwhile in the office at the back a beautiful small house was constructed with a domed roof followed by a triangular unfinished toblerone.
Another fantastic day.

Open Weekend 27th March

From 11am til 7pm number 42 was was a hive of activity - constructions built, occupied, changed, reconstructed, reoccupied by everyone who came in and the den project memory archive expanded into italy and zambia. Brilliant day.

Friday morning

There were 137 women and 278 men on the floor.
Doileys across the window.
A table made out of balloons.
An umbrella with a woollen fringe.
And a pair of eyes.
Now it's all gone.
