Making everyday places extraordinary with creative installations, storytelling workshops and street literature projects. #foundfiction

[Steve Clarkson @clarkspeak]

You may have seen I’ve not done much @fictionfound stuff recently. It peaked in the months building up to 2020, when the value of all my commissions and grants for the year ahead would have paid me a salary — a place to grow Found Fiction as a self-sustaining enterprise of sorts.

BRADFORD IS #CityofCulture2025💥

This is our time to celebrate our extraordinary district – and for our young population to become leaders and change-makers to begin an exciting new chapter in our story.

People who visited the installation then got to share Christmas with these five households and even write them cards, which we delivered! 🎅

It’s exciting to know we connected so many different people across Leeds through this project. Merry Christmas all! x

My Christmas Home closes today! It’s been an amazing privilege bringing to life so many festive stories from across Leeds 🎄

We filmed Christmas moments in five households — ranging from a refugee family to a student flatshare — and re-created their homes in an installation 🎥

It was great to see such an innovative installation. Well done to all who designed this. And proud to be able to showcase @EmmausLeeds. Please try to come and see it. @SimonHodgsonLCC @LeedsHomelessCH @Julia_Preston4 @peteshovlin

So good to be partnering with @EmmausLeeds on the #mychristmashome installation!

Excited to give our visitors the chance to experience Christmas Day with three Emmaus companions via audio-visual projections and recordings — come visit us in Bond Court 😀

Today we’re at @KirkgateCentre as part of Bradford Science Festival!

We’re asking “what makes you grow?” — food, exercise, love, we’ve had lots of suggestions so far…

We’ll be sharing how our tree blossoms over the course of the day 🍂

[Steve Clarkson @clarkspeak]

It feels good to be back at @YorkStJohn leading some seminars with @YSJWriting students.

Writing is my first love and will always be my primary way of connecting with the world — so I’m totally in my element helping the next generation develop their creative vision.
