Hello Veronica and hello to the other members of 'Art for Kidbrooke'.
I came across your this blog by chance but I'm glad I did.
I've been doing some research in relation to the history and regeneration of the Ferrier Estate for a possible photo-installation I've been wanting to do for a couple of months.
It would be great to talk to some of you guys to find out more about your experiences with the Ferrier estate and the projects you do. Looking forward to hearing from you.

best
