The ‘Museum of Hope’ created by the participants of Tic-Tac-Hello and artist Helen Barry
We have had to have a slight change in the artistic direction of where Tic-Tac-Hello was originally intended to offer and where. Over the last few weeks government guidelines have dictated the way in which we are going about our daily lives. When the concept for Tic-Tac-Hello was initially proposed, it was designed to enable people to engage through level 5 lockdowns. What I did not anticipate was the variants of COVID that was to come. I have had to go back to the drawing board and rethink how the ‘artworks’ to be created by participants could be created together and still be able to invite and engage the wider community in a public setting. Thankfully I have the participants of Tic-Tac–Hello join me back at the drawing board and we are designing, creating and cataloging the Museum of Hope; a visual record of life during the pandemic. Through photography we will capture our domestic and community lives and how we now interact within these spaces. We are experiencing these spaces in a new way – everyday! We have been challenged to find the extraordinary in our ordinary and everyday surroundings. The Museum of Hope is aiming to capture a sense of where we can find the positive in our everyday, the breathing space, a connection with others and to celebrate and share what we discover with others.
