Carbon Co-op–
The Carbon Co-op is a collaboration between lowwintersun and URBED Co-op. The Carbon Co-op aims to bring together streets, neighbourhoods and communities to form bulk buying co-operatives for low carbon technologies, everything from energy monitors to solar panels. The Carbon Co-op is undergoing research and development with funding from Manchester Innovation Fund and Big Green Challenge and a pilot project is expected in 2010.
Guerrilla Busking–
Guerrilla Busking took place as part of Futuresonic 2009 and was curated by lowwintersun as part of Single Cell Collective. The project saw over 20 musicians and poets play 18 gigs over eight hours in public locations around Manchester city centre. The event tested the division between public and private space and questioned the regulation of public, creative performances. Money raised by the buskers went to destitute refugee campaigns.
