People’s Palace of Possibility

Project overview

The Palace was an outdoor installation that asked how we find energy for the future, despite the fear and anger we feel today. It was about our desire to escape, and the urgent need to do something radically different.

The Palace travels around the country and it’s always growing. It had a radio station, a kitchen, a pantry, and an escape hatch. The Palace was added to and animated by people wherever it goes. At Mowbray Library it hosted live music, ‘craftivism’, potlucks and stories of resistance.

The Bare Project at The People’s Palace of Possibility was at Mowbray Library from the 15th September to 1st October 2023. The outdoor installation was about our desire to escape and the urgent need to remake the world around us - it showcases the voices and ideas of people from London to the Highlands.
