REVIVAL

by Katherine Wheeler

Some ideas refuse to die. The WWP is one of them. Through many years and trials we’ve pulled through, and become a bigger and better community for it.

Our next theme is “Revival”. Not just our Revival, but a celebration of the Revival of everything that is worthwhile.

Look around you and see that which is old … and has become new again. Tell us about it in pictures.

Often Revivals take a new and exciting perspective on old ideas. Sometimes they just can’t be improved on …

Some things to think about and get you started:

Blacksmithing - an ancient art still practiced by a few and growing in popularity.

Sea/tree change - reversing the drive to the big cities and reviving small towns in the process.

Fashion - all bets off!!!!! Anything goes … and comes back!

Food - what traditional dishes have suddenly become popular again?

How have they changed?

Music - how it changes with the years to stay relevant and exciting. eg orchestral flashmobs;

Arts and craft - tried arm-knitting yet? Or yarn bombing/storming? How about the wonderful “graffiti” streets giving talented artists buildings as canvases.

Transport - we might think electric vehicles are new, but do you know they date back to 1832?

In the aftermath of natural disaster - how communities revive their cities, towns and villages;
