The city of Peterborough has a large population of low income citizens. Whether they find themselves at a low-income due to marginalization, illness or poor compensation for their labour, they contribute to Peterborough’s culture and economy in diverse ways. They perform essential work, they sustain its markets, and constitute an important part of its social life. As a group, however, they are not

well represented in the local media nor are their interests well reflected in social and political arenas. In truth, there are few ways in which low-income citizens can comment on issues that affect them and the community in a meaningful way. The creation of a medium for artistic and social expression could have a significant effect on the sense of belonging to the community.
