At The Causey on Friday night Beetroots Collective showed their latest community art project – Our Streets. And InfraSisters ended their cycle ride at The Causey to see the projections for themselves. The two organisations enjoy a similarity of purpose and there is a great deal of crossover between them.
The multimedia project at the Causey is about reclaiming urban spaces for pedestrians to use and artists – Marta Adamowicz and Robert Motyka (Beetroots Collective CIC) – in association with Causey Development Trust and Sustrans worked with the local community to create the outdoor projections on Friday.
InfraSisters call upon the government and the council to provide safer streets for women and girls cycling after dark.
This is the street at West Crosscauseway and the traffic island which The Causey would like to transform into an area which prioritises people. It is a 17-year-long project which has come to mean “sit oots” every Saturday when coffee and cake are on offer, and may yet become the attractive place for people that the community organisation envisages.
Part of the projection was an excerpt from Our Streets which you can watch in full here.
