Initiated by Australian design collective Rinzen in 2004, Neighbourhood is a spontaneous collaboration between artists and designers from around the world. Twenty initial featureless hand-made toys are progressively reworked, which result in a sequence of characters and styles.

The participants are free to use a myriad of techniques - stitching, painting, drawing, removing limbs, adding limbs and body parts and adding clothing and accessories. The toys are embellished or reconstructed. On completion the toys are returned for photographic documentation and then passed onto the next participant.
