Whilst Chief Curator for Create London, I curated two distinct art projects operating from the same space that resulted in new infrastructure and resources for local residents and artists in Manor Park, east London.  

Rabbits Road Institute was established in 2015 by artists Ruth Beale and Amy Feneck, working together as The Alternative School of Economics, and commissioned by Create London. Drawing on the history of the Old Manor Park Library building and workers' education movements, it was developed as an experiment in making a public space for community, education and creativity.  

Rabbits Road Press was developed with OOMK (One of My Kind), a collaborative publishing practice led by Rose Nordin, Sofia Niazi and Heiba Lamara, making, publishing and distributing books and printed works. Rabbits Road Press established a permanent community Risograph printing press, creating a long-term publishing resource rooted in self-publishing and education.
