London riot areas: initial investigations
I visited 3 locations across London that were worst hit by the riots,
Hackney, Croydon and Peckham. Although most of the physical damage has been
cleaned up, walking around and collecting information on the various
communities in each area allowed me to think about possible sites of
intervention, geographical borders, what I really define a community to be, and
what are the elements that make one.
Prototype iteration with white gaffa tape
By Re-modelling the riot helmet
and giving it a different surface, altered its meaning completely and gave me
new contexts in which to think about its use and users. Additionally
the baton served as a new tool for possible games that could be created. If a
riot could become something beneficial to both sides involved, could it become
a social activity?
