Lockdown Love Stories beamed across the DMI tube announcement board on tube platforms on the London underground.
‘In the second national lockdown creating platforms for love and connection is more important than ever At the heart of lockdown love stories was the idea of creating connections in a time of social isolation, and ways of bringing stories to diverse communities to represent their voices through storytelling. I’ve always thought that the Underground is a brilliant potential exhibition space. I’m always looking for ways to infiltrate non-art public spaces with art and writing to reach new audiences. I think there’s a particular anxiety around the tube in this pandemic. It’s usually the heart of London but now is a space of caution and anxiety. I wanted to bring some resonant content to people still travelling during this anxious time and show the human side of this space – and the pandemic.’ Philippa Found.
