About

Lou Elena Bouey



Project Types: Civic Engagement, Education, Skills share,Stakeholders Scoping, Curation, Community Mapping

Status: Ongoing

I work with educational institutions, local councils, grassroot organisations and youth groups to use design thinking and spatial practices as tools for education, surveying, mapping and scoping potential collaborations. In tendem with this, I regularly work to curate exhibitions, fundraisers, events and conferences. For academic discussions, see our most recent project at decolonise.space, an initiative as part of the University of Cambridge to open new and alternative dialogues to spatial practices ︎︎︎
