Sue Palmer and Simon Lee Dicker explore the art of place making in Langport, Somerset, UK, with a focus on the public and civic spaces in the town. Both Simon and Sue are Somerset-based contemporary public artists who have been invited by Somerset Art Works to make some process based work in Langport that invites the residents of the town to engage with ideas about how public spaces could be more creatively used, and ‘owned’ by the community.

Urban Jungle School
We invited Hannah Aitkin to run a forest school workshop that encouraged young people and families to build and decorate shelters in the centre of Langport. The activities encouraged a re- visioning of how the outdoor space in cocklemoor could be used for temporary events and gave us a chance to chat to participants about their aspirations for the public space around the town.
