At his first research tour in June 2016 he interviewed 10-15 people from Jessy Cohen and got especially interested in a communal regeneration project going on and their effort to educate 20 community leaders. They are local residents that wishes to contribute more to their community.
For his second research tour in January 2019, Balfelt plans to engage with the community and find a topic he will work on - for an Art Urban Development intervention. The production of the project is planned to take place in April 2019.
