Co-Production in East London

A piece of work done in collaboration with local residents to redevelop a Hackney community centre, also involving architects, co-production facilitators and town planners. To plan the image I used the building as a focal image, that I drew in advance, and used the four differently coloured themes in quadrants around it.


This job needed help from the facilitators to make it work, so I had note takers from the 4 groups who helped harvest information and feed it to me, so that I could stay by the paper and keep drawing, because people were scattered around the building.

I'd recommend this way of working if you have lots of breakout groups but still want an overall sense of the feedback in the room. Or alternatively you could have a more sophisticated setup that the folks at a company called 'Realise' have, involving software similar to Mentimetre, but with a lot more questions lined up. I was working with them last week and that worked really well!
