Church Street Cultural Mapping Workshops

The Showroom and architect Blanca Pujals have been working on making a new collective cultural map of the Church Street Ward. This collaborative mapping process has focused on opening up reflections upon the cultural life in and around Church Street, and has been made together with those living and working locally, or with active connections to the neighbourhood.

The aim has been to create a collective picture of the cultural fabric, spaces and relationships that are important locally today. The new map – which has been commissioned by Westminster City Council and builds upon The Showroom’s long term relationships in the neighbourhood – highlights spaces, shares knowledge and builds new networks; reflecting on cooperative models for organising and production whilst exploring the need for shared collective spaces in Church Street.
