Kindness

Kindness started Autumn 2007, working with older Jewish people, exploring ideas of the Holocaust, displacement and what it means to have a refugee background. An outreach portion of the project will be work with young people in Manchester.

The pieces addresses what it means to be both inside and outside a community, how it feels to make friends with a new culture, explore sense of belonging, displacement, impermanence, home and connection. We aim to promote understanding of and bear witness to the Holocaust.

These pieces are not be as perscriptive as an information trail, but rather create miniature poetic works that resonate with - or make a dissonance with - their surroundings.
