Bridge of Hope Project
The Bridge of Hope project
The Bridge of Hope project is about recognising the challenges in life but making bridges to a positive, more hopeful future.
The work has been created by myself, and collaborations with the team at The Old Chapel Cafe and members of the community of Saltney Ferry and beyond and includes images, words, songs and films.
It included
• Colouring in a bridge picture to add to the bridge bunting.
• Suggest lyrics for our Bridge of Hope song.
• Take a photo of any bridge, real or metaphorical, for the gallery.
Reading of ‘Can we all be one?’
Image to colour in for bunting
Song to offer lyrics for What do you hope for over the Bridge of Hope?
Walk of Affirmation
The Walk of Affirmation (WOA!)
Teamed up with The Light College (Glyn, Rachel and Izzy) and Holy Trinity Blacon and asked local people how they experience feeling valued. For people in Blacon, people felt valued through their relationships with family and by helping others.
We looked at making a film or a street mural and finally decided on an installation which would be set up in a local building for local people to visit. The Walk of Affirmation as a way of allowing people to be affirmed and valued as they walked through it. The wooden tiles with affirmations on playing the part of the voice of encouragement we all value.
The tiles said things like: ‘I am enough’, ‘well done!’, ‘You’re amazing’, Thanks for being you’ etc.
Installed at Holy trinity Blacon, St Peter’s at the Cross in Chester and the Greenbelt Arts festival.
