<![CDATA[East London Lives 2012 - your archive: All site photo albums]]> http://eastlondonlives2012.net/pg/photos/world/?view=rss

These photos have been taken throughout this year at events we held about the Olympics - some of our field trips and research. We'd like people to send in their own photographs, particularly of change and the area around the London 2012 Olympic Park. Please send them to ell2012@uel.ac.uk and we'll put them up on the site

The ELL2012 team went down to Trafalgar Square to take photographs and listen to the speeches.

The Wick Curiosity shop http://www.wickcuriosityshop.net/ is a lovely project using mobile architecture (shown in some of the photographs here) for an event based community archive and museum. We shared some news about the projects and met lots of interesting people. We also had fun rolling the shop home again!    
 
The following is more information about the Wick Curiosity Shop from their website, which has lots of community events to look at: Hackney Wick is home to a small and intimate community full of curiosities, forgotten treasures and cultural activity often invisible to the outside observer. Located next to the River Lea in the Eastern edges of the London borough of Hackney, it is the former site of many thriving industries most of which have now died or moved on making way for new, mostly residential developments. The rapid change was accelerated by Hackney Wick's new and famous neighbour - the 2012 London Olympics which brings large scale regeneration to a small and unassuming community. Suddenly the world is looking at Hackney Wick - and the Wick is looking at the world.

We went in mid September 2009. It was really interesting to be given such context on the Games and how large the Olympic park is.
