THE PEOPLE SPEAK

CRAYLANDS, BASILDON

Creative processes

So far, The People Speak have been participating in events in Fryerns and Craylands run by various organisations and groups, such as Family Fun Days and an International Day. They are pleased to be able to get to know people and develop ideas together. By doing this they have had many conversations with the people from the estates, they have spent time meeting people and getting to know the community.

The People Speak are always inspired by the people they meet. When they came for their interview on the estate they were shown around by the Friends of Craylands community group and said that they were really welcoming and inspiring to meet. At this point they knew that they could contribute something to Fryerns and Craylands Estates.


“We've just been given the use of an old laundry room by Swan Housing which we're converting into a studio. Our plan is to be there on a weekly basis – turning ideas we've heard from people into visualisations and videos of the potential future of Craylands.”
