A lengthy chat today with Steph about a whole host of things including psychogeography, the very exciting potential for an 'archeological dig' and the importance of documenting and archiving. This led me to remember some inspiring pieces I had heard on the BBC World Service a few years ago.
"Alert Bay - My Life So Far was created from recordings gathered by five young people from Alert Bay, a remote island off the west coast of Canada. The young people, aged 11 to 17, were trained by two producers from the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The producers lent them recording equipment and gave them a simple task: 'Tell us about where you live. Tell us about your life."
