At the start of the month I did my advanced Oral History Training online, which I enjoyed a lot. Then it was back to planning and organisation; necessary, but not quite the super-massive adventure-time that gets the heart racing! Thankfully, we had some great creative workshops at Scene & Heard, where the young artists designed and presented their Climate-Saving devices. I was also lucky enough to get a free ticket to the British Library Fairy Tale exhibition :-) Goals: Develop and execute interesting climate-themed workshops Plan 2 x community workshop events for April Continue to build new relationships https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/34423e94-2b41-4866-ae32-518572ace8f2/MM+Blog+Post+-+April+26.png Blog - Storyteller Seasonal Series: Spring - April This month was Workshop City! I learned some great clay sculpting and spray painting techniques (along with a history of graffiti and its evolution in east London), watched a lot of online art tutorials, and pushed myself to experiment with this new knowledge in my creative arts sessions. Then, at last, I delivered my first two creative community workshops, and they were a great success! The bulk of the attendees had never been to Scene & Heard before, and they stayed for long periods at a time. The tidy up operation at the end of the last session lasted as long as the session itself but it was ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT! I breathed a huge sigh of relief when I returned home that day. Goals: Learn new art techniques to use in workshops Promote and deliver two community-focused workshops Keep meeting local community partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/b557b237-b23a-43d3-aa87-bdab12a189af/MM+-+Blog+Posts+-+May+26.png Blog - Storyteller Seasonal Series: Spring - May I'm still going! I was only able to fit in two workshops this month; a collage workshop, and an animal face mask session. Both were a lot of fun, and the animal face masks were enhanced with cloth from a textile donation I received from a local charity shop. Some of my time was also spent planning a creative session for London Climate Action Week. I have a few non-Melting Metropolis projects on, so the most important thing for me to achieve is... balance! At times I've let my excitement for the project and the chance to meet new collaborators lead me to an overambitious diary. However, I am now a lot more measured, and clear about what will be possible and what will need to stay in the drafts folder. Goals: Explore more creative arts workshops Continue planning for Climate Action week event https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/2ek59o0qe8vj99sz4d0u56uhlov6jx monthly 0.5 2026-05-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/4f18b9e3-ee5b-4ca3-ab8c-570572c6b1e6/conversation+image+1.png Blog - The Conversation: How London, Paris and New York coped in the heatwaves of the past - Make it stand out Parisians swelter in a heatwave in 1895.

As a lover of interviews and documentary work, this was like discovering a whole new planet. I’m planning to use oral histories in my community work to both inform my understanding and contribute to my final exhibition. Just before Christmas I returned to southern Spain, this time undertaking my project planning sessions in Málaga. I had created a surprising amount of admin for myself, so I got up early every day to try and get through my task list while also enjoying being present. Goals: Take training course (Intro to Oral History). Start writing up and consolidating plans for training and exhibition planning. Relax into the Winter break. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/6d2ec30d-a448-40cc-aef2-80986528ac55/Winter+-+January+%2726.png Blog - Storyteller Seasonal Series: Winter - JANUARY Back to the Wellcome Collection for their exhibition ‘1880 That.’ While it doesn’t have the relevance to heat and health, there are valuable learnings I took around accessibility (Who can and can’t access the material?), inclusivity (Who is involved in the planning and strategising of how the work is created and delivered? Who isn’t being considered?), and checking your own assumptions/countering your own bias. Goals: Continue to write up plans for training needs and exhibition planning. Get out to a local event. Keep the pace slow and remember it’s still hibernation season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/bf8f51d2-a39c-4f4e-9f29-d2d5592095c2/Winter+-+February+%2726.png Blog - Storyteller Seasonal Series: Winter - FEBRUARY As part of the Melting Metropolis project, I’d like to utilise the medium of the graphic novel, alongside recorded audio. I’m not a graphic artist by trade so I’m challenging myself to develop my skills in this area and make this a foundational part of my exhibition. Goals: Reach back out to potential collaborators and expand local network. Develop practical skills. Emerge carefully as the Spring approaches. https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/oc51qtinu64jz60dgh2uv9qx5byp52 monthly 0.5 2026-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/41440369-b296-4c92-9f51-d32a9982c94e/Screenshot+2024-07-22+at+3.26.33+PM.png Blog - Building a Summer Archive with Community-led Oral Histories - Make it stand out The Heat Vulnerability Index with NYC-EJA members, including GOLES in lower Manhattan.

Thankfully, the garden is just being relocated, so I shall seek it out again when it blooms in Spring 2026. I also bought materials to continue exploring potential future workshops for the MM project. Goals: Get to a community event. Make plans for Climate-based workshop at Scene and Heard. Continue working through ideas for potential community engagements. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/96f7eeb7-439e-4496-85b1-3a3655ef63b7/Autumn+-+October+%2725.png Blog - Storyteller Seasonal Series: Summer & Autumn - October Often you can miss exciting things on your doorstep, so I nipped into the Wellcome Collection to see their exhibition ‘Thirst.’ As well as being relevant to the conversation on heat and its effects, it contained many explorations of the search for and preservation of freshwater across borders of land and centuries of time. Goals: Get to a community event. Take part in some Scene & Heard work sessions. Explore training opportunities to upskill ahead of producing future community events. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/b0f82c28-0a7f-4c6a-be45-59e0b7036420/Autumn+-+November+%2725.png Blog - Storyteller Seasonal Series: Summer & Autumn - November This month, I did some storytelling out of the borough, at the Hackney School of Food. I also took part in a community workshop at the Somers Town Community Association, led by the Camden Libraries team, where we recorded our memories of Somers Town on a giant piece of paper. Shortly after this, I co-led a session around memories of summer, which featured an All-Star Melting Metropolis cast. In this session, I tried out something different: improvised childhood summer memories, inspired by words, sentences and images provided by participants. (Spoiler alert: it went down well!) Goals: Take part in a community event before Christmas! Book or take part in a training opportunity. Continue to expand my Somers Town network. https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/zs1ytevufeo0vzvtupsg91xete4mei monthly 0.5 2026-02-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/2d57bc77-2988-48db-9904-295f6cfaf992/Avi+presents+2.jpg Blog - Reflections from Queens College Undergraduate Research Interns - Make it stand out Avraham’s presentation of his work. https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/the-roots-of-climate-resilience monthly 0.5 2026-01-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/27ff64fa-0cd3-4faa-acf6-6d3ed1892649/Climate_Resilience_Model.png Blog - The Roots of Climate Resilience - Make it stand out Image: Climate Resilience Model https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/iskfuva3oi4324gojgh030hudbmzze monthly 0.5 2026-01-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/3a422e53-64b0-4edc-ba63-c91a157cf5f1/MM+Interns.jpg Blog - An Interview by ‘The Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning & Leadership’ - Make it stand out From left to right: Dr. Daniel Cumming, interns Avraham Kuighadush & Abid Fahim (spring 2025 intern), Dr. Kara Murphy Schlichting, & intern Kristal Melendez. https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/planting-seeds-at-king-manor-museum monthly 0.5 2025-12-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/1765283576370-M7UFDPQ7DQR9FS655TZH/CityOfForestDay_KMM_BonnieZervas_10042025.jpg Blog - Planting Seeds at King Manor Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/1765283576120-GSBNB0P9RRVOWIK4LYUH/CityOfForestDay_KMM_Tabling_10042025_2.jpg Blog - Planting Seeds at King Manor Museum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/1765283577315-5W7I7FO8L9KISUHBDIYQ/Forest+1.jpg Blog - Planting Seeds at King Manor Museum https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/history-heat-and-hope monthly 0.5 2025-11-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/8f1cc242-bc0c-4d43-9f46-27c1778f0a38/Temp+change+in+London+since+1850.png Blog - History, Heat, and Hope - Make it stand out Ed Hawkins, University of Reading, CC BY https://www.meltingmetropolis.com/teamblog/the-gotham-center-for-new-york-city-history monthly 0.5 2025-12-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/644144d2be82f741e2ea6ae4/d69be704-11f7-4a3f-80bd-991a3be320bb/Gotham+centre+pic+1.jpg Blog - An interview by ‘The Gotham Center for New York City History’ - Make it stand out Susan C.
