A music composer and vintage electronics enthusiast, Ben thrives on connecting people with art and sound, using analog and acoustic devices to foster community collaboration. With $500, he'll transform a mobile recording studio and vintage gaming technology into a conduit for conversation and creativity. Stopping in unexpected places, Ben will invite individuals to pause and share what brings them joy while crafting digital portraits from their stories. These images will form a communal tapestry, capturing the essence of East Cleveland. The project culminates in a public exhibition, playing back these moments of joy and encouraging community involvement at his new community wealth centre. A small seed of generosity, nurtured and expanded through simple yet profound human connections.
