Festival Events 2021

Shine a light on memories

Organised by Acumen, 4 November, online. Email enquiries@acumennetwork.org to register.

This event provides an opportunity for people with lived experience of grief to come together over a creative activity, where chat and sharing of experience, memories will be allowed to flow as those taking part make a wee paper lantern.

At the end of the event a LED candle will be placed in the lanterns, and a few minutes taken for participants to reflect on their memories of those they have lost.

The session will be led by creative artist Susan McInnes and will be open to anyone aged 18 residing in Renfrewshire, Argyll and Bute, Inverclyde and East Renfrewshire. Make-kits will be sent out by post.

After the event an anonymised poetic collation of participants comments will be displayed on the Acumen Facebook and Twitter pages to highlight the feelings and emotions grief brings.
