Dear old Hackney Wick
The place of our abode
There is no other in the land, it beats the mile end road
It's there that we were born; it's there that we will stick
There is no other in the land like dear old hackney wick
Have a banana !
public works got a new commission for a small temporary project in Hackney Wick. The piece - Route Book (working title) - is commissioned by muf architecture/art as part of their wider involvement with the public realm work in the area.
As the landscape of Hackney Wick and Fish Island changes once again and new routes are being cut across the area, bridges being build and new connections being made we will revisit every day journeys, walks and narratives that cut through Hackney Wick and Fish Island from a very local perspective.
The piece will directly contribute to - and be a continuation of the Wick Curiosity Shop, an eclectic collection of local produce, memorabilia, oral history, songs and stories from or about Hackney Wick in East London
We are happy to be back in the Wick - not that we ever left - but its a great opportunity to spend more time on site.
