Iโve received another enquiry about the mental health resource kit developed with @suemoffat.bsky.social @nvborderlines.bsky.social. The โBag of Tricksโ was such a great project but I had forgotten about the website we put together. An incentive to write this up! rflight7.wixsite.com/bagoftricks/...

So I've written a book! Waterscapes is about how impactful our need for water is on the environment and people. It's also about the ways in which infrastructure projects can impact place for good or bad.

In Our Own Words
A public history project, a student project, and a co-produced LD project all rolled into one. Primarily a reminder for everyone involved but some insights into what worked for us and some of the ongoing challenges. unipress.hud.ac.uk/plugins/book...

A long piece of white paper is covered with colourful drawings. There are blocks of colour as well as images of buildings, people and trees, to the top right someone has written LD Club 2025.
Some co-produced art from the final LD club of the year. Inspired by @ionamurphy.bsky.social and input from everyone inc @mctom.bsky.social and @lucyorkate.bsky.social. Might be of interest @roryduplessis.bsky.social

A three storey brick building with a pitched roof and two lower level wings to either side. To the left are trees in full lead and grassed area with hedges.
Exciting news from Jozefien, one of the Research Fellows on the Asylum: Refugees and Mental Health project. More to follow but Iโm jealous of a trip that included the former asylum at Amiens.

To the front are a number of trees in full green leaf. Part of the building (windows framed in orange) can be seen to the right. On the horizon and under cloudy skies are building of different heights and shapes.

A cloth mat with colourful artwork and the phrase โBag of Tricksโ at the bottom. There are sever items in the mat including an artistโs mode, a pencil and a mini blackbird on to which someone has chalked a smiley face.
In Gรถteborg at an event organised by the wonderful Verusca Calabria at the cityโs Medical History Museum. Lots of lovely presentations and workshops and a chance to showcase the โbag of tricksโ, which resulted from a collaboration with the brilliant @suemoffat.bsky.social and New Vic Borderlines

Nine pale blue boxes are clustered together on a table. They represent police boxes, but are designed in different ways using felt tip pens and other items that have been glued on. A police box is often referred to as a Tardis in the UK because of the Tv programme, Dr Who.
This weekโs theme at LD club was crime and punishment (not Dr Who!). A great session with Laura leading on and helping with the building process.

What looks like a three storey building. There is a green door with arched windows to either side. On the second storey there are three windows and on the pitched roof there is one. Now home to the London School of architecture the building is a former church. To the front of the building on the right there are large bins - one black, one green and to the left is the back of a parked car.
Fantastic venue for the #lcc60 conference and great line up too!
