Ministry of Littlehampton Empty Shops Network with The Littlehampton Academy
Tweet

Inspired by the Mass Observation movement and the resurgence in seaside tourism, Ministry of Littlehampton takes over an empty shop to crowdsource an alternative tourist guide to Littlehampton.

Eleven local primary schools have been brought together by The Littlehampton Academy and the Empty Shops Network. They've been asked:

• What's your favourite building in Littlehampton or Arundel?
• What does Littlehampton sound like?
• What's your favourite place in Littlehampton?
• What does Littlehampton taste like?
• What's Rustington's or Littlehampton's best-kept secret?
• If Littlehampton was a colour - what colour would it be?
• What's the best thing to do at the weekend in Arun?
• Can you describe Littlehampton in five words?
• Why should somebody visit the Arun district?
• What's missing from Arun?

The results will be carefully data-mined to inspire a series of distinct artworks and installations, which will be created with students from the schools in workshops held in one of Littlehampton's empty shops. The resulting work and all the responses received will be used to create a website - and will also be on show on Saturday 9th July at the Ministry of Littlehampton, Beach Road, Littlehampton.
