Making Do at The Old Lookout Gallery Broadstairs
Making Do will spend the next two weekends at The Old Lookout Gallery creating and producing a publication in collaboration with the community at Broadstairs.
Following from our latest issue, Dialogues form out of this world, we aim to further explore the limits of authorship (shared, open source) and the results of collective processes within creative production.
Making Do will relocate at The Old Lookout Gallery to produce a publication in collaboration with, the invited members of the community as well as passer bys and visitors to the gallery space.
We are inviting the community of Broadstairs to participate in the content and production of this publication: ideas on content, articles, photographs, personal and collective histories, news, illustrations as well as active production during the making i.e. editing, design, layout etc.
All the editorial processes and decisions will be constantly displayed in the gallery space. It will be an open office where visitors can come and have a chat, participate in group discussions, bring their stories and points of view.
This is an opportunity to expose the usually hidden processes of creating a publication while at the same time challenge them by opening them up to collaborations.
A library of independent publications as well as books on local history will be on display during the process.
