Megan Makinson’s Designpost celebrates the way that the historical narratives woven into the streets of Shoreditch intersect with the district’s rich culture of street-artist subversion. Starting as a sculptural reflection of its setting in front of the SCP shopfront, the design weaves in other narratives, such as the story of ‘The Theatre’, one of London’s first permanent venues, which was dismantled in 1598 and its timbers used to build the Globe. Aptly, when its time as a Designpost comes to an end, Megan’s sculpture is destined for a second life as a puppet theatre.
