Remember last year? Scrapstore dressed the Bargate in scrap to celebrate the Launch of the Cultural Olympiad. Well this year, in keeping with the aims of London 2012 which prioritise young people, Scrapstore is handing everything over to student Sana Rashid.
Over here from Pakistan and in her first year studying Maths at Southampton University, Sana is taking the plunge. Here she is measuring up the Bargate for her designs.
She'll then be working with artist Rose Perry to come up with a schedule to produce the design through open workshops, ready for display over the Cultural Olympiad weekend 24th -26th July.
Because the project is completely inspired by the 2012 Olympics, Sana has just put in an application for the Inspire Mark. This is a national mark of quality that recognises innovative projects (big and small) that demonstrate individuals and organisations aspiring to better themselves.
Project managing an arts project is a first for Sana, and handing over a project to a student is a first for Scrapstore. So good luck Sana with the application, fingers crossed!
