THE ICA PROJECT
The ICA Project revisited the former Ipswich Caribbean Association building on Woodbridge Road through specially commissioned photography, newly collected oral histories, and archival materials made public for the first time.
Take a look at the ICA Memories website to view the exhibition materials, and submit your own.

MONSTERS
Andy Field + Beckie Darlington
MONSTERS is a film project made in collaboration with school children from across East Anglia, creating a fictional documentary that will use the familiar tropes of Hollywood monster movies as a way for young people to reckon with ecological change.
