Finale CELEBRATION! ✨
To mark the end of the Messages From The HeARTlands project, we have created an online exhibition to showcase some of the pieces - all by people with lived experience of mental health and associated challenges.

It works extra well on mobile / tablet πŸ“±

Our Listen In walking / wheeling workshops link to all five ways to wellbeing...

- We will be connecting with nature by getting outside, and with each other through the (optional) discussions.
- Learn something new with us as we delve into the connections between sound, identities and place.
- Put some activity into your day by walking / wheeling with us.
- Notice by slowing down with us and listening to the sounds around us.
- Give something to yourself and your community by turning up and taking part in something different.

Book here - https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/listen-in-2197599

On our walking/wheeling workshops, we'll be taking sound recordings, and turning these into:
- sound files
- podcasts
- maybe even environmental audio tracks

We will also be mapping sounds across the city with our groups, and logging these on an interactive map, which the community can also contribute to!

Book your space on one of our walking/wheeling workshops now - https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/listen-in-2197599

Open Mic seeking performers - music, poetry, spoken word, etc.

Performers must have experience of challenging circumstances, which their content must also be about.

The Messages From the HeARTlands project is all about providing a platform for creative expressions of 'lived experience' of challenging circumstances. Each piece performed must carry a message of some sort, to those in power; services, local leaders, commissioners, society in general. The message may be discreet.

All performer slots pre-allocated. DM or contact theintersectioncic@gmail.com for more information. You will be asked to share the pieces you will be performing, so you might like to include these in your message.

This celebration event is the project finale, and will include invitation to participate in creative activities, the full exhibition, and talks from artists.

The venue is accessible - the event will be held downstairs.

If you're unsure, or you have any questions, please reach out and send us a message.

The focus on sound during our walking/wheeling workshops can allow for greater connection to place, and increased ability to connect to the positive experience to improve wellbeing.

We have three workshops coming up over September/October - book now https://www.eventbrite.com/cc/listen-in-2197599

[Image description: A quote for 'Listen In' on a green background - I've got a bigger picture of that walk, and the key points of interest, so when I can recall it now, it's much more easily accessible for me to evoke what that's like and feel like I know that walk.]
