Re: development - Inside The Green Backyard
A collaborative networked online exhibition
After five years hard work by the volunteers and incredible public support, The Greenback Yard, a community growing project in Peterborough entirely run by volunteers, is no longer threatened with redevelopment. The owners of the land, Peterborough City Council, have offered The Greenback Yard (The GBY) a rolling 12-year lease and will be working with The GBY to preserve and improve the community green space. Re: development – Inside The Greenback Yard is a collaborative networked online exhibition to celebrate the success of the campaign to save the The Greenback Yard from redevelopment. The exhibition features cyanotypes (images of objects from the site) and voice recordings (oral testimonies by the volunteers), from Jessie Brennan's work Inside The Green Backyard (Opportunity Area), an outcome of Jessie's year-long residency with The GBY and the arts organisation Metal. More about Jessie's residency project can be found in her Guardian article:
