Your exObjects

How can you get involved?

By choosing an object associated with someone or something we love, we can reconnect.

Creative expression can lead to action, for example on climate change, or finding a fresh understanding of ourselves and others.

Your new exObject contributions will be stitched together.

——————————————-

 Create your own exObject

1. First choose an object that reminds you of someone or something important.

2. Write about why the object is important to you. Use your imagination as well as including a few facts about your object (150 – 300 words).

3. Decide on an image. This doesn’t have to be the object that inspired your writing. It can be a painting or a textile or other kind of artwork connected to what you want to say.

4. Write a short caption describing your image (1 – 30 words).

Email your words, a photo of your object and a caption describing your image to: exObjects2022 @ gmail.com
