The project has startedβ¦. A lot of meetings and alot of coffee being consumed up to now and no doubt much more to come! The next stage is to line up the interviews with the women as well as planning the workshops.
It will be a busy few months ahead but so exciting to meet the women, hear their stories and support them in telling these through photos. We have been so busy over the past while that we have neglected the blog and havent been much at the blogging. There have been launches and exhibitions and training and follow up and discussions and meetings and report writing β¦β¦β¦. We have a lot to ctach up with and let you know about but I wanted to share this post I got a couple of months back from K who attended both the reading night in Ayr on the 25th April and also insideoutsideayrshire the next day.
Not just emotionally but physically. After the event, I wanted to embrace my three daughters immediately. The urge to wrap my arms around them and never let go was all consuming.
And I was strangely buzzing. I didnt want to wait until later that night to write down my thoughts, or until the next day ⦠week ⦠month. Time erodes truth, in a sense. Body has a zinging sensation Like a buzz or natural high..? Call to action? Community needs more of these evenings. Everyone come! It it just selfishness⦠am i thinking only about my daughters? No not just that. I genuinely feel for these other women. Thank you for making me aware. Easy for me to go home, Get on with my easy life.
It has given me, a mum, something to hold on to. Something to be more mindful of in my parenting. We looked at artwork, spoke to the organisers and listened to some of the interviews previously conducted with some women in the sex industry.
