ABOUT SUMMER OF SOUL — ACLT Summer of Soul Series

Community Movement

Living Stones Book, Holy Trinity Church, Jesmond, 2021-22

As part of my work on Holy Trinity’s Centenary, I was tasked with producing a book which would celebrate the community of the church and what people’s faith meant to them. I compiled stories, poetry, artwork, photography, and Bible verses in an attractive book format which went through a rigorous editing process.

Spring & Co. Community Cafe, 2022

Spring & Co. aims to be a cafe with a difference and hopes to actively engage the residents of Walker in Newcastle’s East End. Not only will the cafe sell coffee and cake, it will be a safe place for locals to socialise, discuss pastoral issues and hold their own events. I was approached to design branding and publicity for the community cafe opening soon in Walker. Initially, I was asked to produce a flyer advertising community consultation which helped facilitate. I then went on to design flyers, posters and a banner for their pop-up trail.

Plan3 in Bologna, 2017

During our holiday in Bologna, Italy we entered an architectural competition to design a community bandstand. We tested our idea (and Italian!) on members of the public.

My Secret Passion!  I guess the secret is out now, our community members have multiple talents, share, like, and agree! Thanks’‘

Inspired by my garden, on the other side of my studio window, I am painting signs for my municipality, starting with this big one. This one will hang where there is an empty space: at the corner of the highway, near the turn-off to our municipal office, rec center, community gardens, etc. It will be placed where there used to be a large sign announcing community events, all of which have since been canceled, due to COVID-19 virus. I hope my painting will infuse joy into my community’s otherwise unflappable spirit! This is a work in progress still… I will show you photos of it, as I progress!

These Toronto Kids Played on Taylor Swift’s New Album, Thanks to BBDO'Parkscapes’ project led to a very special sample

An innovative fundraising campaign by BBDO Toronto for a music school in town has led to a thrilling experience for the students there, who can now hear themselves playing on Taylor Swift’s new album.

A year ago, BBDO came up with a unique idea to raise money for the Regent Park School of Music (RPSM). The agency worked with Grammy-winning producer Frank Dukes and the RPSM students to record an album of music called Parkscapes. Every time an artist samples music from Parkscapes, licensing fees, royalties and residuals will be paid out to the school for the life of the song.

Fast-forward to last Friday, when Taylor Swift released here new album Lover. There, on her song “It’s Nice to Have a Friend,” is a sample from Parkscapes. Turns out Dukes shared one of the compositions, “Summer in the South,” with Swift, who liked it—and the concept of supporting the school—enough to incorporate it into her own track.

It’s not a hidden sample, either. It’s very much front and center. Listen to the “Summer in the South” track below, followed by the Swift song.

“Words can’t describe how thrilled we are to hear our students on Taylor Swift’s new album,” says RPSM executive director Richard Marsella. “This exposure is raising awareness and much-needed funds for the Regent Park School of Music. The royalties we receive from the use of our composition in the song will help fund musical education, and for that we are truly grateful.”

Here is a thank-you video that the students made for Swift:

Education is the heart of all development and growth in every society.
.
It makes every human development possible, from advancement in health technology, agricultural innovations, manufacturing to efficient administration in every sector.

Any society or nation that ignores investments in education jeopardises its future, its long-term development and even the emancipation of its people.

I was honoured last night to see the work I co-created with the young people of Tower Hamlets exhibited in the Town hall. 💫

To have an expression that came from a humble obsession back at Uni, than @d_and_ad champion it at the New Blood Awards 09 (wow 10 years ago) than I use it at events from the likes @lescratch from @ray.steele early @supadupaflylove from @emilyrawsondj which connected me to @iamalexmanzi at Music & Sound Awards, @whynotnetwork years later.. And now I’m more into using my art for creative youth engagement My efforts with young lights are now displayed in @towerhamletsnow Boom. Mad journey. The Marathon continues. #tryyourbest #communitywork #superkids #lightpainting #longexposure #careleaver (at Tower Hamlets Council)
