PLAY SWAP 2: Heygate Chalk Walk


Play Swap 2: Heygate Chalk Walk asked members of the Lunch Club to leave signs to encourage play in and around our area, running up into the Heygate where vast concrete walkways, walls and posts sit waiting for some life to be re-injected into them. 

Signs were left encouraging tree climbing and swinging, balancing, post-jumping and running, and our slightly less subversive and removable graffiti led us to some real wall art we saw being painted on the walls surrounding the allotment on the Heygate by artist Julian. We also met a local free-running enthusiast, who was soon chatted up by the ladies... 

The signs we made I am hoping to expand on in a later PLAY SWAP session, by painting and installing our own more permanent marks on our urban environment.
