Humans of Camden - Episode 1
‘Humans of Camden’ is a podcast series for Camden Community Radio inspired by the photography project, ‘Humans of New York’. In it, Bonny walks around different parts of Camden asking passersby to talk to her for 5 minutes. The aim is to capture a cross-section of street life in this diverse and eclectic borough of London.
The first episode was recorded in Camden Town and Mornington Crescent. Bonny asks: “Why are you here?”, “Is there anything you’re struggling with at the moment?”, “What advice have you found helpful that you’d share with others?” (etc.)

A comedy about youth development, marriage, sex and gender roles told through the experiences of a young British-Ghanaian woman. Racheal’s play received 5-star reviews and then went touring the UK.

Inside Spectrum homeless day centre
Spectrum is the homeless day centre in Camden Town. It provides support and direction for homeless people in Camden. Most of all, it acts as a safe space for spending some of the day and a chance to clean and do laundry. I spoke to some of the men using to centre and to the staff who help run it.
