Paul Gent:
Where We Live & What We Know
Paul Gent presented a series of new drawings made alongside residents
of Charnwood that explored place, participation and the act of sketching.
Charnwood Arts and Modern Painters, New Decorators worked
alongside Paul to produce a series of texts, structures and modes of
display. ‘Where We Live & What We Know’ was created
from a participatory project which engaged villages in Charnwood in
workshops, drawing tours and opportunities for villages to share their
history as part of Charnwood Arts’ ‘People Making Places’ programme.
The resulting artworks celebrated the rudiments of drawing as a tool
that can actively engage us with our surroundings; whether landscape,
architecture or human. ‘Where We Live & What We Know’ encouraged new
links and modes of collaboration across the borough, in turn creating a
living, breathing, personal and public archive.
Paul Gent is a visual artist who works with schools, universities and
community centres. Using cartoons, murals, mapping and games, Paul
creates a process that allows participants to take ownership over the
artwork. ‘Where We Live & What We Know’ was supported by Rawlins
Community Trust, Charnwood Borough Council and Arts Council England.
