  • Summary

  • This season we are in Crawley, in West Sussex, England. A new town that was created in 1947, merging the villages of Three Bridges and Ifield with the small market town of Crawley filling in the gaps.

    In October 2023 we asked six local teenagers to take six local artists on a walk with them through Crawley. From their walk to school, the places they hang out, where they go to for some peace, and the places they feel most alive and connected. These journeys have unearthed how they feel about Crawley and the world around them, their hopes, and what is important to them.

    In this episode, we meet Ellee & Sarah.

    Ellee is in Year 9 and a student at Thomas Bennett Community College. She describes herself as silly, mischievous, and shy. She is a superfan of Stranger Things, Millie Bobby Brown and Pedro Pascal.

    Sarah Pimenta is an experienced participatory artist, lecturer and creative facilitator. Sarah is known as ‘Social Fabric’ where she makes collaborative narrative textile pieces which tell a story – She has also illustrated a series of six children’s books ‘The Therapeutic Fairy Tale series’

    This is a gorgeous and gentle amble through nature where Ellee and Sarah discuss Stranger Things, the personalities of trees and the current cost of living crisis.

    Places and artists mentioned:

    Buchan Park

    Social Fabric
