Organisation of City Discovery Cooperation (OCD. Co) is a new start-up multidisciplinary culture social enterprise based in the UK. We aim to improve urban development and enrich people’s arts and cultural engagement in local societies. We help and encourage cities to employ art and culture as a toolkit for city branding or development plan by offering arts and cultural strategies and projects.

Arts and cultural industries play an increasingly important role in urban development plan or city branding plan. In the modern world, the market has moved onto creative and knowledge economy, and there is a resource competition between countries, cities and neighbourhoods in terms of labours, tourism, inward investments and businesses. It has been suggested that arts and cultural industries attract those resources and improve competitiveness of a region (Richards, 2010).

Through various kinds of cultural programmmes in this Leeds Tourism development plan, local artists and small or local-centric business own-ers would be promoted. This will con-tribute to the vibrancy of arts market as well as local business, and to arts and culture equality. Many research-ers (e.g. National Endowment for the Arts: Research Division, 1981) claim that the demographic conditions of arts and cultural event audiences are interrelated to the frequency of their

participants. They argue that most of the audiences are highly educat-ed and have high income. However, Connolly (2013) states that the more cultural activities and accesses, the better educational and economic status. We are also eligible to apply Inter-national Showcase Fund. Our aims of the plan focus on creating, producing and presenting the arts and cultural features in Leeds, and we build on a not-for-profit basis with charitable

objectives (International showcasing, 2015). Furthermore, we attempt to attract international promoters and invite local artists to be involved in our arts and cultural events with a clear artistic approach to the devel-opment of the showcase.. The aim is to make a significant contribution to tourism in the city of Leeds as well as positive impacts on both region-al and international development of UK’s art and cultural industries.

The familiar stranger team aims to improve local envi-ronment in Leeds and continue to broaden the impacts of the project to wider areas. In this event of regenerat-ing Tetley and Leeds Corn Exchange, both of them main-tained meaningful stories of Leeds. The transformation of their original functions and present their stories could attract tourists from different regions as well as bring benefits to local citizens at the same time.

‘Make Sense’ is a festival consisted of five sensory events (seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting and touching) in vari-ous activities, aiming at providing novel ways for exploring Leeds city.

Hide & Seek team aims at helping people to experience a city entirely, rather than just being a tourists. It will be divided into two parts. First part is identifying local hidden places, interesting events, secret stories, or ‘little things’ that are often ignored. The other part is to make local peo-ple and tourists experience their city life and journey differently, rather than just walking around a city.

Bonami (2005) asserts that “our memory is composed of varied, mostly irrelevant, short experiences: new images, new flavors, new sounds, new touches, and

new smells. Yet in their irrelevance, they shape the way we think and how we see the world (p. 11).” From this point of view, we seek to create a new form of art experience through full of our senses, linked in local business and mood. As Watelet states, the art experiences is the “most perfect relationship among external objects, the senses, and the state of the soul (cited in Corbin, 2006, p.178).”

To hire public venues like parks, we should be equipped with “public liability insurance with £ 5 milion indemnity (Leeds City Council, no year, p.5)”. All con-tractors (artists) and perform-ers engaged in the event have to have “their own public liabil-ity cover (Leeds City Council, no year, p.5)”.

Certain types of perform-ances or alcohol sales needs proper licenses.

We will make a list for budget such as artists contract, public liability insurance, fist aid cover, alcohol license, performance li-cense, artwork cost, venue hire, pomotion, infrastructure, elec-tric generator, etc. To use Leeds City Council land, in our case they are Roundhay park, Hyde park, and Victoria Garden, we need to pay required fee by Leeds City Council.

We will have the event safety checklist provided by Leeds City Council Book-ing and Licensing team to inspect facilities, equipp-ments and event venues by ourselves to secure people in the event from any haz-ard.

Page 17: Make Sense

We will ask a first aid provide to St John’s Ambulance. With regard to emergency and safety, we will get advised by fol-lowing services and ask supports to them. The contact infor-mation below is from Leeds City Council guideline (no year).

Since our members are too limited to run this event on our own, volunteers are essential to effectively manage. They can guide participants and quickly act in any situation. We will have a brief meeting with them a week before the event to let them know key things that they should be aware of during the event.

When the event venues are hired, we will make the site plan for the event to distribute to participants to guide them. Also, there would be emergency plan as well. They will be marked on the map back side of site plan.

Electric generator is vital to be equipped mainly for the craft work-shop of touching event and sound exhibition of hearing event. The generator is very vunerable to water and dangerous to people. Thus, the safety around the genera-tor must be secured.

We will make a contract and ar-range the schedule with Associ-ated Waste Management Limited (AWM) to deal with our waste in the event venues during and after the event by contacting to them on 0845 4567 128.

Basic infrastructure such as toilets and food vendors will be set around the event venue. We will have pub-lic liability insurance and risk as-sessment as it is required.

In case that we need a stage for opening and closing event, stage setting is considerable. This also needs public liability insurance and risk assessment.

Balm and Holcomb (2003) highlight the importance of imagery and historical sources in tourism. They agree to Bryson’s claim in terms of the relationship between the past and present space and time. They argue that:

To consider simultaneously both historical source (an image’s past life) and cultural work (an image’s present and future life) implies that an image has the potential power to transcend the time and place of its creation but also that an image may be examined relative to that origi-nal time and place. In other words, an image as an artifact is both flu-

id and fixed. (p.158)

23

Page 25: Make Sense

Therefore, we were looking for the image from the history of Leeds to re-interpret and to let the tourists experience visual images of both past and present Leeds. Among many contents related to Leeds and Yorkshire(in wider range), we found that ‘Cottingley Fairies’ is still an interesting topic, even though the fairies in the pictures turned out man-made fairies. The idea of ‘Cottingley Fairies’ would be emerged as a new content in Leeds, albeit ‘Cottingley Fairies’ are originated from Cottingley near Bradford next to Leeds but still in West Yorkshire.

Fairies will be decorated all around Hyde park and Roundhay park to imagine the time that ‘Cottingley fairies’ was issued and everyone in the world believes in this as genuine living fairies. For durable fairies against raining and heavy wind, they would be made of limited materials. The artists in Yorkshire Sculpture Park will be invited to make them and advise. We will post official notification of recruitment for the artists online such as ArtsCouncil Jobs webpage. Also, Tim Water’s artwork, fairies’ house, is chosen to draw our direction of ‘fairies in park’. To set the faries in both of Hyde and Roundhay park, the booking confirmation by Leeds Council is essential.

According to the booking policy, as we hold the

festival, we are eligible to hire the park from Leeds City

Council. To book the venue, we need to contact to 01133957400

by phone or [email protected] by E-mail with the online

application form on website. It should be applied eight weeks before the event

at least. The application form includes basic information of applicant and the

The Fairies are made of paper cut after print-ing out from Google image. We were trying to mimic Cottingley Fairies in colour version as like the time of issue. However, in the event, for the durability against the rain and the wind, it would be created by other materials.

Smelling is often neglected among other senses (Corbin, 2006; Keller, 2006). However, Corbin (2006) believes that the sense of smell is the most important one when people feel “the harmony of the organization of the universe (p.178).” Hirsch (2006) also argues that:

More than any other sensations, odors are particularly effective in inducing a vivid recall of an entire scene or episode from the past. A special odor may re-vive a clear image of the past and, more impor-tant, the enhanced emo-tional state associated

with that image.

”33

Page 35: Make Sense

He describes the smelling process that every individual smells differently depending on their environmental background such as their living area, circumstances, and memories. It is common fact that individual’s favorable odours please them and it is not in reverse way. Herz (2006) illustrates that this phenomenon is because of previous emotional experience but the “innate influ-ences on us (p.200)”. In this sense, such aromatherapy and per-fume affects “mood, cognition and health (Herz, 2006, p.199)” in pleasant emotion (Herz, 2006; Corbin, 2006).

Therefore, the ‘scent maze’ would play a significant role in audiences’ experiences toward this event, family time, friend-ships, and the arts and cultural elements. For the tourist, this uncommon experience would be remained in their memories as the great moment of spending time at Leeds.

In the ‘Scent Maze’, we will hide different kinds of scent which are found around us easily and make us happy. The scent in the maze will be consisted of three kinds: tea, coffee, and soaps. Each exit will show the information of products and brands hid-den in the maze. As Herz (2006) claims that the sense of smell is not sustained longer than 20 minutes – all of us have experience of this kind that a certain odour is disappeared after a while –, the ‘Scent Maze’ will be designed to spend less than 20 minutes inside there by considering this fact. The products will be sponsored by local based business such as La Bottega Milanese, Moments Coffee Co.Ltd, and Yorkshire Soap Company. We will hire local-based set and lighting designers and technicians to set up the maze from the website of Stagejobspro and Linkedin.

Darjeeling Tea. I am confident at this.

I was correct. I followed right one!

I see. This one was the one I confused. Even this exit doesn’t have lavender soap haha

OK, then I will try lavender soap! we might have the different wayout.

Oh my god. This is so confusing. I think I lost mine.

Sniff, Sniff. This seems not that one. Sniff, Sniff. Oh yes this one!

5. Sniff the yellow brick to find the chosen scent and find the way out.6. During the process, audiences can explore other scents as well and reconise the scent they didn’t care in routine.

7. When they are out of the maze, they can check what they have smelled whether it was right one they chose or not.8. They can learn more about the scent objects and the sponsored brand. 38

According to Landry (2006), it is claimed that sounds are combined together but are difficult to pick up individually in cities where are always full of various sounds. People broaden their “soundscape” (Landry, 2006, pp. 45) within culture to perceive the sounds of the city. In order to explore the sensory landscape of the city, we would like to collect different sounds in Leeds through recording various sounds within the sonic environment, including the busy sounds of commercial districts in the city centre, a repetitive beat from the pub music, the sounds of transport vehicles, the choirs in Leeds Cathedral, and even the varying wind sounds in the city through the sense of hearing.

45

Page 47: Make Sense

When peo-ple hear a sound, and then they listen and make sounds differently. Because of the differences of interpre-tation, there are diverse percep-tions of the sounds in different cit-ies, so that every city has its own sound atmosphere (Landry, 2006). To explore cul-tural differences through sensory experience, we will record the most types of British Accents to present the varieties of language within dif-ferent regions in the United Kingdom, namely Received Pronunciation, Cockney, Estuary Eng-lish (Southeast British), West Country (Southwest British), Midlands English, Northern England Eng-lish, Welsh English and Scottish English (Trawick-Smith, 2011). As such, it is meaningful to experi-ence regional differences through hearing various types of British accents to understand their own specialized features of sounds of cultures.

Expo Leeds was hold in Leeds in September 2009 to take over venues and public spaces across the city. This sound and music festival aimed to illustrate the powerful, creative and playful nature of hearing, discovering and listening to sonic art. We will cooperate with digital artists to perform at the Light and Millennium Square. This Soundscape event would be supported by Arts Council England, and our partnership included Leeds City Council, Opera North Howard Assembly Room and University of Leeds.

The UK’s largest free festival of sound art and experimental music

The festival offered visitors the chance to re-engage with the city in new, creative ways and to experience space, time and the urban setting through the art of listening. -Expo Leeds“

Through connecting with “Expo Leeds”, we will design an interactive activity in cooperation with German-artist Christina Kubisch to create a new installation at The Light, Leeds, inviting passersby to record the sounds by using their smartphones through the shopping centre, and mix sounds together in creative ways. We will transform various sounds from original ones into artistic forms, creating sound art to present for audiences.

In the mid-1970, a musician and composer, R. Murray Schafer introduced the notion of acoustic ecology (Schafer 1977, pp. 205). He stressed the significance of the value of listening and the quality of the soundscape. Schafer describes the world as “a vast musical composition” which is extending continuously. Sounds can evoke emotions, they have meaning, and they reflect the cultures through mediating experiences of stimuli. Although the “buzz” of the city refer to its noise which might be harmful to health or welfare for human, many sounds still attract people, creating pleasurable experiences and emotions (Newman & Lonsdale 1995, pp. 34). Exploring with the senses can trigger action by interaction with environment, discovering the beauty of a city, starting with sound.

We will make a list of the most important types of British English according to the dialect blog, “Brit-ish Accents and Dialects”. During our festival, we will present these British Accents and provide each speech samples for our audiences to better understand the differences in each region in the United Kingdom. While this is not a completed list, this blog provides an overview of the accents most often discussed on this site and elsewhere.

The United Kingdom is probably the most dialect-obsessed nation in the world. With countless accents shaped by thousands of years of history, there are few English-speaking nations with as many varieties of language in such a small space. - Trawick-Smith, B. 2011.

The connection between ‘the sense of tasting’and ‘food dishes’ is regarded as an acceptable concept, and there is also a correlation between the sense of tasting and culture (Stringfellow. 2013). In addition, different types of food dishes are often taken as evidences of cultural development in different areas. Not to mention of the history of food and its representation of a field throughout the centuries.To encourage the engagement of participants in experiencing and realising local culture and arts through the sense of tasting, two activities are designed for the achievements and will be held at Corn Exchange.

Taste Through History

Inspired by the exhibition held by The Stanley & Audrey Gallery in University of Leeds displaying recipes of baking through eras, the first activity for ‘City Taster’ will be an exhibition about the development of food in Yorkshire.Yorkshire historic food recipes will be presented along with several selected handmade cuisines followed by the steps of chosen recipes. Cuisines will be presented in numbers of dishes

based on recipes written in different eras to show the development and

change of the cuisines in the past, including Roast with Yorkshire

Puddings, Yorkshire Curd Tart, Parkin, and Liquorice.

The second activity for tasting is Food Landscape, inspired by the project of ‘Foodscapes’ made by Carl Warner. People tent to visit historic and popular herit-ages far more then enjoying and experiencing ordinary surroundings that are often ignored in daily lives. As the first exhibition focuses on the whole area of England, the second activity for tasting will narrow the range of field from England to Leeds City. Buildings and surrounding scenes of Leeds City will be presented by different types of food ingredients such as bread, vegetables and fruits, created in forms of art pieces along with photographs and paintings of the chosen buildings and scenes. Through the collections of ‘landscapes’ made by food, participants can not only no-tice the surroundings in novel ways of presentation but also have a chance to ‘taste’ the ordinary scenery of Leeds City.

The sense of touching is one of the direct ways to feel sur-roundings through the interac-tions between body and objects in society.

An interactive exhibition will be held at Victoria Gardens with a se-ries of touchable art pieces made of natural materials collected in Leeds city.

Participants are invited to touch these art pieces to experience the shapes of the city, and are ex-pected to recall the impression of the city after activity.

Page 69: Make Sense
Page 70: Make Sense

In the book “The Image of the City”, the author mentions that moving in a city is recognized as the physical part in our daily life. We are not only observers in a city, but ourselves are a part of it, particularly, our activities have become physical parts in a city (Lynch, 1960). Shaping the natural materials or inhabit necessities for sensuous enjoyment is not only an artistic activities but the stimulation and reflection to care for the environment. Sometimes, we experience the city at a low level of awareness and are not accustomed to those things we don’t need. In order to deal with this happening, Landry (2006) suggests that we need to encourage our minds to be wider in any opportunities to perceive a city, exploring the environment and cultures by using the sense of touch. Although five senses have relative importance, Manske (1999) points out that only a few would consider touch is the most necessary of the senses since it is not until we are without the ability to experience “tactile stimuli” (Manske, 1999, pp. 213)—hot or cold, pain or pressure—that we become fully aware that touch is essential to our well-being. Therefore, the relationship between the sense of touch and a city refers to explore the environment with our hands. At the same time, we experience a city when the external object touching our skin and also our body itself.

In 2015, an art ex-hibition that applying 3D printing technology into artworks was first created by The Prado Museum, aiming at pro-viding visually impaired an opportunity to expe-rience historical paint-

ings through touching, such as Leonardo da Vin-ci’s “Mona Lisa”, “Don’t touch me” by Antonio da Correggio, and “Still life with Artichokes, Flowers and Glass Vessels” by Juan Van Der Hamen. Inspired by The Prado Museum, The Louvre, London’s National Art Gallery and the other well-known art galleries have also created touch-friendly programming for people to touch arts pieces by their hands.

From this inspiration, we will invite the crafts people in West Yorkshire of “UKCraftFairs” to produce handmade crafts made of natural materials such as woods, plants, and stones which are collected in Leeds. During this art exhibition, people can not only perceive and experience the art items through their touching sense but explore the relationships with the ordinary necessities we use and inhabit every day.

Apart from presenting the art exhibition, inspired by Craft and Design Month, we will organize the Arts and Crafts Workshop for people to learn handmade crafts.

Within the workshop, we will invite artists of The Craft Centre and Design Gallery in Leeds to teach crafts skills in the community. People have to register on the of-ficial websites, and it will be set a series of workshop for participants to enjoy the city atmosphere with their hands.

Craft and Design Month was first launched in 2011 by craft&design magazine, the

project receives no funding or grant aid. Its ever grow-ing support and success is entirely the result of hun-dreds of people working together to promote the amazing creative talent that we have in the UK. (Design & Print
