Is it possible the current pandemic has given us the opportunity to re-think our assumptions about our neighbourhoods? Steve MacDouell and James Kingsley will help us explore new ideas in our neighbourhood creatively compelled by the notion of micro-neighbourliness: the small, patient, and practical ways that we pivot toward our localities and the people that we share them with.

Steve lives, conspires, and drinks coffee in Woodfield—a neighbourhood in Central London
James Kingsley

Asking what role aesthetics play in authentic community, James is interested in how the small things add up.
