People, Place and Porosity: Eight Small Acts
Eight objects, eight stories, eight small acts of resilience, connection, magic, resistance and joy. In this talk Katie Etheridge and Simon Persighetti open a series of doors into ways of creatively exploring the deep, fascinating, complex and sometimes contradictory interrelationships between people and places.
Art objects and souvenirs from a selection of Small Acts projects will illustrate eight micro interventions that feed the imagination, spark new connections, invite participation and pose the question; how can small acts make a big difference?
