Lift Festival and Clare Patey : Empathy Museum

10 Jun-2 Jul 2016

Overview

This June Empathy Museum is taking over Peninsula Square with ‘A Mile in My Shoes’ and ‘A Thousand and One Books’ two shipping containers disguised as a shoe shop and a library. Everyone is welcome to come and borrow a pair of shoes and a head set, and listen to a life story while walking a mile around the Peninsula. Or borrow a book from and hang out at ‘A Thousand and One Books’, a social space for the exchange of ideas, stories and feelings. Exploring how empathy can have the power to transform our personal relationships and tackle global challenges, this series of events and installations invites you to step into someone else’s shoes and see the world through their eyes.
