A Very Human Thing To Do is a collaborative arts and social action project organised by Miriam Ali, Jo Helfer, Morven Mulgrew, Tabassum Niamat, Ardis Onnerfors, Nadia Rossi, Gene Sills, Leo Valenti, Angel Walker, Holly Knox Yeoman and young people at Rumpus Room. The project is taking place at The Bowling Green Together. Underpinned by an ethic rooted in the local, the project brings together young people and artists from communities in the area to explore and celebrate local identities, needs, and artistic voice.

The project will culminate in a public programme that invites people of all ages to participate and explore themes of the local, roots, and solidarity through artworks, play-based activities, talks, and community meals, making space for others to contribute, voice their own ideas, and listen to others. The project is grounded in the principles of community, autonomy, experimentation, mutual learning, and the desire to work long-term in the places we live, exploring what our collective imagination can dream and build in order for our communities to flourish.
