Feb 2007 – Feb 2008 – UrbanWords managed a year long Heritage Lottery funded project, for the arts and social inclusion charity, All Change. The project paired a combination of writers, film makers, visual artists, musicians and performance artists with seven groups of Islington based young people to explore the borough’s rich literary, cultural, social and architectural heritage. The young people explored literature written about Islington and by famous Islington writers such as Dickens, Orwell and Douglas Adams, and to create their own original work inspired by these writers and the area in which they live.
