Benches are places to rest, to share stories with strangers, to watch stories unfold on the streets in front of you and to meet new people. We want to work with the Northfield community to design four new, interactive benches: places to stop, come together and tell stories. One of them might have a chalk board on the back where artists can leave their work. Another might have writing prompts embedded into the seat for creative writers to use. Or a puppet theatre built into the back. Or it could play music, have multi-sensory elements built in or its paint could change colour when it rains. It’s up to you.
