Everyday magic - what’s it all about?

In July, the Arts Council of Northern Ireland, supported by National Lottery funding, supporting me in commencing a community arts project.

Since then, I’ve been gathering stories to start building a map of stories that link the place with the person the story is about. These are about real lives and the magic that occurs in all our lives - moments of happiness, of sadness, of community support and meaning. They are expansive or they are short, and of the moment.

The stories will be linked to this map as they grow: Everyday Magic - https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1O4NnTCSbfP7rfvMizqAdHFw5DzTk1xuW&hl=en&usp=sharing, where you can see how they are placed and what the stories are.

If you have a story you’d like to tell, please send it to me - for now, the map is capturing Mid and East Antrim, but this may extend later if I can make it happen.
