MARKIT was designed for a climate-awareness fair to take place in the spring, however it was spurred by the King’s Cross area, which is completely gentrified. Albeit safe and familiar to attend class, it’s very sterile and the idea of a market stall popping up in Granary Square seemed engaging.

From there came the realization that so many of our open spaces in London are not actually public; they are privately owned and policed. I quickly gained motivation from this research and decided that this project had to come from an angle of anti-policing/privatization, and it ended up generating a fast paced, self contained project that was a good start to the year.
