Playescape - an urban swing set
A collective desire for joy, safety and empowerment has created a need for Playescape - an urban swing set. What are the ways we can feel present, calm and connected when we are alone in public space at any time of day?
Looking to transform the act of sitting whilst giving permission to play, Playescape was located in Te Aro and made from construction waste and reusable materials. We hope to advocate for the enjoyment, freedom and connection to others that can be had in common space.
Video Projections by Kitty McIntyre-Hyatt were projected onto the swing structure that ran from sunset to the early hours of the morning.
We welcomed everyone to come and try the swing set between 11 November - 17 December, in Glover Park, Ghuznee Street, Te Aro, Te Whanganui-a-Tara
