A Mile in My Shoes
Housed in a giant shoebox, this roaming exhibit holds a diverse collection of shoes and audio stories that explore our shared humanity.
From Where I’m Standing
Celebrating extraordinary tales from lockdown, this storytelling project is a portrait of life during the pandemic.

About this project
This project celebrates a group of 34 extraordinary people, ranging from a midwife and a supermarket worker to an undertaker and an anaesthetist. Each of these storytellers shares their wisdom, kindness, hopes and fears in this unique portrait of life during the pandemic.
Each storyteller was asked to choose an object that has been important to them during lockdown. We invite you to look at the photos – the people and their objects – and listen to their stories.
