Ania Bas

During her time at OSE, Ania has worked on two projects: ‘H’ and ‘The Walking Reading Group on Participation’.

For ‘H’ Ania organised a series of dinners in private local houses in spring 2014. The conversations that unfolded as part of these dinners explored questions of neighbourhood, change, regeneration and gentrification, and will form the basis for a community play that Bas is working on in 2014. A small selection of the raw material recorded during the meals is available as part of a subsequent publication, which you can read online here.

The Walking Reading Group on Participation is a project in collaboration with Lydia Ashman and Simone Mair that offers participants a chance to read and discuss texts exploring participation, engagement, collaboration and social practice whilst walking through an environment. Since 2013, three editions have taken place in London, two of them with the support of Open School East.
