A gameshow about your community…
…with questions set by and with you – and a playful secret.
2019 – 2022
About the project
We The People (of this place) was a gameshow about your community – with questions written by and with the people who live there, and prizes to be won. It celebrated local stories, surprising histories, and the loveliness of a place and its people. Sometimes it looked like a pub quiz, sometimes like something else entirely – whatever made everyone feel most welcome. And there was always a secret twist… but we can’t talk about that here.
Each version was completely unique, shaped in collaboration with local residents and artists. The process involved building relationships – sitting in cafés, sharing cups of tea, chatting on benches, and listening deeply to where conversations led.
We The People took place in Culture Mile, Fareham, Folkestone, Liverpool, Margate, and Quezon City, Manila.
