Detail
An exploration of the cumulative power of words, creativity and kindness sparked by children’s imagination. Children from Christchurch Primary, Hotspur Primary and Shieldfield Youth Programme have written their own collection of ‘poems of kindness’ and then delicately adorned these onto majestic large-scale willow fish lanterns. The final gathered shoal of fish will feature in a twilight community parade and exhibition at Shieldfield Art Works, before migrating to Ouseburn Festival to become part of a kindness trail. Come and walk among the ocean of kindness, experience this symphony of benevolence and ‘swim’ among the shoals of fish, as we stand for kindness as a community together. You can also make your own fridge haiku poems and share your own stories of kindness.
