Residents in Boston are being invited to help shape a new piece of art inspired by the town’s experience of the coronavirus lockdown.

‘more than a-part’ is envisaged as a portrait of the town in (and as it emerges from) the restrictions relating to Covid-19.

It is being organised by Transported, the local arts body operated by the University of Lincoln.

Townspeople are invited to share their stories from lockdown and thoughts on who or what they are grateful for.

“It is a chance to celebrate acts of kindness, special relationships and treasured spaces,” a spokesman for Transported said.

Participants can contribute to the piece simply through conversation, but are also welcome to create elements to be incorporated into it.

“The resulting artworks will form a ‘tapestry’ of individual experiences using cyanotypes, an early Victorian photographic process,” the spokesman continued. “This will form a lasting testament to Boston’s lockdown experience and the people and places who helped residents through this time.”
