A pop-up miniature neighbourhood, bringing doorstep tales from around the world to just down your road.
This installation from Maison Foo sees artists and designers from around the world fuse together audio storytelling, visual art and new technologies to bring the tales and passions of neighbours currently seeking sanctuary in the UK to life.
From sunrise mountains to outer space and joyous swimming to green fingered gardening, the neighbours on our street would love to spend a moment or two chatting with you about the things they love in life.
