Hackney Transients Art Project

The aim of the Hackney Transients Art Project (HTAP) is to celebrate the transient nature of the people of Hackney and the positive effect they have on their community.

Artist need only email examples of recent work and write 150 words as to why they think the project is a good idea. Deadline 7th December 08.

Volunteers just need to drop us an email to tell us a little about them. Interviewees are ongoing from now until March 2009.

It is not uncommon to hear the people you meet in Hackney say they were not born here, but moved into the area from other parts of the UK, and the rest of the world, before making Hackney their home. Some stay a few years, others for decades, both taking and giving back to their community in a positive way.
