| Abstract | The presentation contributes to a session on good practice and key challenges to participatory approaches to regeneration and cultural engagement through a European lens. I outline the work of the Docklands Community Poster Project and raise issues of community-led practice, the importance of collaboration rather than participation in these circumstances, and the adaptation of lessons learned through cultural activism to other areas of social engagement through the arts. I signal the opportunities offered by emerging technologies for collective creative production and ownership of ‘place’, and give current examples of where communities have re-taken responsibility for their environment. |
