'The young people in Caledonian Road have had enough. You are invited to a council meeting with a difference. Hear from young people as we all decide together how to make things better for our area, and for all of us.'
​
This site specific show, encompassing audio trail, interactive performance spoken word, gallery exhibition, live music and a whole lot of food was the culmination of an 8 month co-creation project between young people from around Caledonian Road and a host of fantastic artists. Young People took part in a total of 46 workshops, including 2 weeks of intensive creative work and multiple trips to key organisations ranging from Raindance Film Festival to the Southbank Centre
​
The Market Project was the product of a partnership between The Working Party, The Pleasance Theatre, Hyde Housing, Southern Housing, The Mayors Fund for Young London, The Big Lottery Fund, Islington Council: Local Initiatives Fund and Arsenal In The Community.
