In addition to the workshops offered in April 2007 in Warsaw, Laundry and alphaGroup undertook somethingElse in Saska Kempa. This became an action research initiative, engaging with people in Saska Kępa which is the neighbourhood next to Rondo Waszyntona and what I know as "the dodgy market" which was a football stadium but then became a bazaar where virtually everything could be found – from guns to Russian chocolates.

With Poland and the Ukraine winning the bid to host Euro 2012, this bazaar will be moved on and the football stadium rebuilt. We wanted to know how people in Saska Kępa felt about this – whether they valued the multi-cultural nature of the bazaar or if they were glad to see it go, whether they preferred to live near a football stadium or a market, whether they thought the re-building of the football stadium would have a positive impact on the community and if they might be interested to be involved if there was a possibility.
