Collage: Marie Therese
Item
During the pandemic when we couldn’t physically meet we did a joint project with the University of Manchester. We created so many stories with patterns and poetry, repeating words, all sorts of mediums. This was a big part of our life during the two years of the pandemic, and brought a few of us together and produced a publication of the poetry, the patterns, colours, the repeated words.
The facilitator was able to bring that out in us they were a great enabler, one of these people who didn’t interfere, who helped make more of us. That’s big part of Poverty Truth.
With the butterflies, I was thinking about the question ‘where has Poverty Truth led you in your life beyond the community?’ I get the newsletter from the Butterfly Conservation Trust and there’s a big concern about the numbers of butterflies, every year they get the general population to do a count of butterflies and moths and the numbers are falling drastically. I’m trying to encourage people to think more about the small creatures of our country and that’s my knock-on effect of the Poverty Truth.
