Elephant's Trumpet is collaboratively produced community newspaper that aims to organise, promote and share resources, ideas and concerns about Elephant&Castle shopping centre. It brings together the voices of traders, local organisations, residents and users of the shopping centre in mutual support and solidarity, and campaigns for the communities that belong there.
The newspaper arose out of an ongoing collaboration between local organisations, traders, residents and the artist.
I initiated it as part of my artistic residency at Photofusion. It is produced with the support of Arts Council England, Photofusion and Elephant Amenity Network/35% Campaign.
So far two issues have been produced. A selection of materials from the newspapers and documentation of the process of production (meetings, making, disseminating) were made available through an exhibition at Photofusion entitled Taking Part (22 Feb - 17 March 2018). The hope was to reach out, connect and share with other communities facing similar challenges.
