Street Talk

StreetTalk

Street Talk was a community cohesion project based in Brinsworth, Rotherham. It created spaces for local people to share their stories and talk about their connection to the place they live. The project was a partnership between Voz Theatre, Refugee Council, Who is Your Neighbour and MESH Mediation Sheffield. 

 

Between 2019 and 2022 we worked in the community to connect people to each other and their environment through a range of arts activities including creative writing,  scavenger hunts and mapping local and global connections. 

 

The project culminated in a storytelling event and photography exhibition in March 2022. 

"Although me and my neighbour can't communicate very well verbally, we are trying to connect and make more of an effort with each other because, you know, it's just common manners isn't it really. Just say hi and make sure they're ok."
