| The
project has journeyed with four people through their routes across
cultural, social care and health organisations, practices and happenings,
auditing practice en-route. The project is being documented closely
from the beginning with film, photography and written media. Take a square mile on a map of South-East London; as in most inner city areas of the capital there is a plethora of initiatives, schemes and providers of community services. In Lambeth, Southwark and Lewisham [LSL] there is a Health Action Zone, Education Action Zones, new deal for community areas, as well as health care services from primary to acute care, and cultural /arts providers. These services can be seen as vertical structures, often functioning independently within tightly defined objectives and geographical reach. However, individuals most often move through these structures horizontally, accessing or not accessing services through professional referral, chance, advocacy, co-incidence, ingenuity or lack of opportunity. |

| The rhetoric speaks of joined-up working and joined-up thinking but in practice how does it work? How does practice link with people's experience of the everyday? The aim of the project is to show the way in which existing structures in health and arts function in one geographical area and to explore the implications of this for strategic planning in both the arts and health. What new alliances need to forged between programmes and practitioners from different disciplines and sectors to provoke collisions, conversations and collusions between the diversity of London's citizens? | |
