RSA The Great Recovery Project. Bulky Waste Residency.
The mission of the RSA (Royal Society of Arts) is to enrich society through ideas and action by sharing powerful ideas, carrying out cutting-edge research, and building networks and opportunities for people to collaborate. One such undertaking is ‘The Great Recovery’ recycling project, of which Ella Doran was a great supporter.
Ella participated in a 10-day residency on the project that involved trips to waste sites, Ikea, Reuse centres, and tear-down workshops at the FabLab in London. Paul Wyatt's resultant short and incisive film - the Great Recovery's design residency around bulky waste - was shown on the BBC Community Channel in 2015. Watch it here.
