Project description
The location for the overall project was a vacant shop within
the STAR area of Cardiff working with the communities of Splott, Tremorfa,
Adamstown and Roath in the eastern, former industrial edge of the city.
Commissioned and facilitated by CBAT, during the summer 2005, the artist
Jennie Savage created a series of radio programmes with local people
which were broadcast on 87.7fm 22 ñ 29 October. PROJECT
will enable Jennie Savage to write a series of essays for a publication
which will contextualise key issues that have arisen during the STAR
research and broadcast period to profile key outcomes of the project
that refer to symptoms of a post-industrial urban community. Published
by CBAT, the publication will include essays by contributing critics
and will be available May 2006.
