- Profile
Encounters specialise in designing and delivering tailor made participatory arts projects that evolve organically from the homes and streets where people live. We co author evolving artworks with people of all ages and cultures, mapping and collecting urban histories and other evidence of everyday life. Encounters create a sense of place, a snapshot in time which is then retold to a wider community through, exhibitions, public art, performance, publications and uniquely tailor made events.
