Abstract
In this work, the young people from various youth groups at The Ripple created a map using elements of collage to visualize how they would like their community to look in 2050. The finished piece, brilliantly put together by local artist Jenny Capon, is a collaborative space on which the young people manifested their individual dreams such as: owning a dance studio, engaging in spaces of play, and attending university. Along with this, they also got to explore their hopes for the wider area including: a hospital with more staff and shorter waiting lines, more clothing and food shops, green spaces and park improvements, community art venues, free ice cream for under 15s and no bullies. It was a fun activity for those who participated and was beautiful to see how art gives us space to imagine our futures and new ways of being, while also allowing us to hold on to the things from our community that we love!
