The Market Value project saw TRAX artists working with customers, traders and locals, who together made up a decentralised and diverse community cohered around the physical space of the Market.

In a context of insecurity and uncertainty created by the threat of impending redevelopment, TRAX engaged in a multi-faceted practice which included the production of a theatre show, and a multi-media sound and video installation, both of which were ultimately staged in the Market itself, in November 2008.

The Market Value project included a youth-targeted dimension, through regular multi-media workshops held at the TRAX office space which was (and still is) located between the fruit & veg and fish stalls in the Market. The project also included the production of a documentary film, and a publication (which will be released shortly).

TRAX is initiating parallel projects with the market community & intends to remain in residency at the Markets for as long as the company is welcome.
