Title of Work: Lost and Found - A collection of stories by Glengormley
Friendship Group
Arts Care Project Artist: Genevieve Swift
Art Form: Visual Arts – Storytelling and Creative writing
Lost and Found is an oral storytelling project aimed to work with the group to facilitate the members creating and sharing brand new stories.
In the initial weeks, these were stories of participants real life events or took their inspiration from the interests of the group members but as the weeks progressed the stories became more and more imaginative.
The stories we have shared for this exhibition are a mixture of True Life stories about things they have lost or found and brand newly created stories inspired by objects.
Each week the group was asked to select an object from a fictional Lost Property office and the stories developed in response to the question 'Who owned this object and how did it get to be in the Lost Property office?
We had so many laughs creating these stories and we really hope you enjoy them too!
Thank you so much to Age NI and the wonderful Glengormley Friendship Club for taking part in this years ‘Here & Now Festival’.
