An initiative designed for the villagers of Luckington, as well as outside visitors, to deepen their relationship and knowledge of the village. The idea revolves around a series of ‘storytelling evenings’ in which villagers young and old share history and anecdotes of Luckington life. Based in the pub, the evenings follow an open-mic format and are designed as a celebration of the village, bringing neighbours together and letting them each see their home from another’s point of view.
These stories would be recorded and made available through QR codes, engraved into walls and buildings around in the particular location they describe. Through use of an app people can follow a trail of stories around the village, hunting down the next one whilst gaining a deeper understanding of their home. Locals can compete against each other to uncover all the stories first, making a fun challenge even for those who resist the historical aspect of the project.
