60 Miles by Road or Rail

I founded 60 Miles by Road or Rail in my hometown of Northampton. 60 Miles creates a platform for Northamptonians of different generations to come together to question and strengthen their collective and individual relationships to the town. It does this by championing local people to create unique experiences inspired by the specificity of our communities’ shared experiences, whilst creating paid opportunities for local artists.

- a co-created comic book with 6 community groups that exist outside of the mainstream of social heritage
