Exhibition of Covid creativity as Limerick square becomes an outdoor gallery
Reporter: );
AN EYE-CATCHING exhibition of children’s creativity under Covid is on display in Pery Square.
In this strange and unsettling time of pandemic, the well-being and mental health of all our children is of paramount importance.
Project 2020/21 Together, Le Chéile from the Museum of Childhood Ireland, provides a platform for children of all ages to express their hopes, fears, thoughts and observations, as they navigate life during these Covid times.
The project was first devised and implemented by the Museum of Childhood Ireland for St Patrick’s Day 2020. As entries from children around the world poured in, they curated and launched it online on June 4, 2020.
One of the call-outs is for peer to peer art inspired by #DouglassWeek.
There is no art form off limits so feel free to send in painting, prose, poetry, spoken word, crafts, dance, song - the options are limitless.
They are looking for is your authentic voice:
What does racism look like to you?
Are you aware of its presence in your life? Or not?
What could the future look like without racism?
You can take any perspective you like and they can’t wait to see what you create!

Another massively important piece of their work is the compilation of a survey on Discrimination in Ireland. The Youth Voices Team want other young people to fill out this form below and talk about their own experiences.
