{{ 'About' | translate }} Crowdfund Crawley

Crawley is a great place to both live and do business but that doesn’t mean we can’t make it even better. The Crowdfund Crawley initiative provides a new and exciting hub for the residents of Crawley to develop and share creative and innovative projects that will benefit the local community. Whatever the idea, from reclaiming waste ground for a pocket park to a community art project, Crowdfund Crawley is a way for you to shape Crawley through crowdfunding. If you have an idea for a project that will benefit your community then create a crowdfunding project page and become part of Crowdfund Crawley. If your project can show that you have the backing of the community then Crawley Borough Council may also pledge up to £5,000 to your project. See the below tabs on the process for more information.

Mammary Mountain
Mammary Mountain joined Crowdfund Crawley3 weeks ago

Mammary Mountells the stories not only of survival, but of trauma from the life changing experience of (Breast) Cancer through a haptic garment, so visitors can feel vibration in the area of the lymph nodes where breast cancer grows. It is not only for breast cancer patients and survivors, but for family, friends and those with no experience of cancer in their own lives to have more empathy and care for those who do around them. The piece is explored through animated illustrations, poetry, personal stories of 8 participants with field recordings by Tara Baoth Mooney, while she was going through cancer treatment herself. The sounds and her drawings have been brought to life through the strong visual 3D landscape and evocative animation created by Maf’j Alvarez using VR. Camille Baker had the concept, the narrative framework and did content development, story collection and editing, grant writing, community outreach/workshop development, staging, promotion–is the executive producer.
