Using Nottingham Contemporary’s exhibition Our Silver City as a starting point, artists and students discussed themes included survival, resilience, adaptability, resourcefulness and care

Charlotte worked with 5 students from Nottingham Girls Academy and teacher Jasminder Pye, and 30 pupils with Nottingham College and Basharat Mahmood

Old unusable tents are repurposed with symbols and imagery documenting what was before as a form of instructions, vital for future survival
