Threads, 2020
A project exploring isolation and exchange during the pandemic.
Threads, a patient exchange in collaboration with madeinroath in Cardiff.
On your current island, is there one object at the centre of it?
What senses are stimulated on your island and which are flattened?
What other living things exist in your island?
What are you missing on your island?
A project exploring isolation and exchange during the pandemic offering patients in hospital settings in Dublin and Cardiff gentle creative prompts and communication possibilities as a way to connect when in-person collaboration was impossible due to the protective measures in place due to COVID.
Isolation comes from the Latin word insulatus - meaning made into an island. With Bernie and Maud from Outlandish Theatre and Clare and Gail from madeinroath we developed artistic prompts and a framework to connect two islands. Dublin and Roath.
