with Michelle A. Hardwick

3 - 12 May 2019

Sirius Arts Centre
Cobh, Co. Cork, Republic of Ireland

Michelle Hardwick's aspiration was for the townsfolk of Cobh to have a place to still the mind from the unrelenting bombardment of information so that they could redevelop an authentic consciousness of themselves and their relationships to others and their environment.

The collaboration between Elizabeth Woods, Kevin Leong and Hardwick led to the production of Meeting Your Future Self with Kindness and Compassion, a guided meditation which served both as the audio gallery tour for See You Tomorrow and School Days, and as the instigator for a slower, heightened, immersive, sensory engagement with the cultural, social, and physical surrounds.

Meeting Your Future Self with Kindness and Compassion was a part of See You Tomorrow, a series of collaborative projects prototyping collective future visions for the town of Cobh.

This project has been assisted by the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Australia Council for the Arts and Arts Queensland, their respective arts funding and advisory bodies, and by Cork County Council’s Creative Communities Award.
