We are excited to welcome our new artist in residence, Tay Aziz! Tay is a Bristol-based community organiser and versatile visual storyteller merging film, photography, writing, and design. She is passionate about connecting with diverse audiences through creativity and raising environmental awareness.
In this residency, Tay will be working with us on our new Collect to Connect project to imagine thriving future green spaces. Tay plans to find the ‘local legends’ of Knowle West and invite them to share their perspectives and dreams for the neighbourhood. She is particularly interested in how the work of these people can connect and grow together. She will be exploring this through mapping and embroidery, including experimenting with our digital embroidery machine at The Factory.
We can’t wait to see what Tay gets up to!
Collect to Connect is all about amplifying, connecting and working together to enhance the abundance of green space, wildlife and knowledge that already exists in Knowle West. Funded by Citizen Science Initiatives selected through IMPETUS.
Email ella.chedburn@kwmc.org.uk if you’re local and want to get involved.
