Documenting lives through the Regeneration in Elephant & Castle. Maybe it isn’t surprising that a place called Elephant and Castle should be dominated by large spaces: the shopping centre, the Heygate estate, the two roundabouts; and a regeneration scheme hailed as the largest in Europe. Yet it is on a smaller scale that the Elephant reveals its energy and its identity. It is the individual people, flats, cafes, shops and stalls, and the connections between them, that make the Elephant somewhere people call home. Outputs include Home From Home Trail, made in 2011, as a collection of twelve photographs and stories from the Home From Home project produced as a set of postcards launched with a public walk in and around the Elephant and Castle Shopping Centre with a poster installation.
