The aim was to collect information from the bottom-up, thereby creating a people-centred perspective of the locality. The data was collected through activity sheets specially designed to understand the standpoint of the people, both children and adults. This initiative enabled us to achieve cultural storytelling of the area through the perception of the people and develop an understanding of these aspects. It also enabled us to celebrate and document the area through a crowd-sourced database of perspectives which further allowed us to capture the neglected narrative of the city and create a collective memory of the same.
We are working towards building this narrative further into a holistic outreach project that focuses on various solutions and approaches towards better engagement and interaction with the community.
