How come the most densely populated areas in the world are also some of the
loneliest? What makes cities so exciting and liveable, yet for some so
unforgiving? Cities are associated with high rates of most mental health
problems.
All this was true before COVID and is now at the forefront of many social and
community issues.
The 1000Connections project endeavours to address some of these mental
health issues by connecting 1000 people through the giving and receiving of
hand decorated ‘kindness’ postcards. This project involves visual storytelling,
poetry, outreach and communal participation.
