Story & Experience

This is Simone holding our Radical Joy Bird. She helped us construct it. A small group gathered at the Waterworks in North Belfast. This chair is one of two which face opposite directions and represent the two different communities. We decided to leave the bird here and Debbie connected the chairs with a daisy chain.

PS:

I just have to forward you the photo of the fire Debbie made on Strangford Lough at the end of our Earth Exchange day. As she looked in the photo we can see the rad joy bird in the flames!
Also an owl flew overhead.
Amazing gift from the Earth
