Londonalive has quite a lot of shots too, some of which are interesting details of Sumer's work!

As you know, the Newspaper House was closely linked with Metronet Rail, who donated 2 tons of newspapers to the project and Project Freesheet, which donated 10,000 newspapers to the House, collected while demonstrating against the excess waste in London.

First House built, work in progress will continue

You were over 1,000 to participate in the project over the course of the week!

Members of the public dropped by and ended up rolling sticks with our team in the afternoons, others dropped newspapers for us, youth groups and friends, made during the course of the project, stayed and helped us reach Sumer Erek's target.

The unveiling was very well attended. The House, a work in progress, is 2/3rd completed!

Next? Another location! Another settlement and more opportunities to engage and strengthen ties with people around issues that touch us all.

Congratulations to all for the Newspaper House was a success on all levels, and an amazing piece of work by Sumer Erek, Creative City and a dedicated team.
