super/collider was recently commissioned by SPACE Studios and ARUP Engineering to work with Beal High School and the River Roding Trust in Ilford, London. Our project explores the health of the river and the future of the climate crisis with a group of 30 sixth form students over a series of five engagement days.

Yesterday we ran workshops along the River Roding, using microscopic photography and sound to explore the area. We will be exhibiting the work made in 2023 at SPACE Studios.
