Micro-Commission for AUDIO POSTCARDS

Audio Postcards - The comfort and connection of the human voice.

Audio Postcards is a project that is being developed by Dorset Based artist Megan Dunford in collaboration with North Dorset charity; 'In Jolly Good Company' 

Megan feels honoured to be one of the recipients of the Activate Performing Arts Micro-commission and is working closely with Sarah Rampton the Director of In Jolly Good Company to bring rurally isolated older people a feeling of comfort and connection during a challenging time.  

" Audio Postcards are a great way to say ‘I’m here for you’ without saying it. Their simplicity is what makes them special - just a 90-120 second recording of someone’s perspective. They are really fascinating and uplifting to listen to and show the power of connection and the comfort of the human voice. I'm really humbled and excited to be working with Sarah and her Jolly Days attendees. I hope that those that take part in the project will start to feel part of the much loved and missed Community that Sarah and her team at 'In Jolly Good Company' have worked diligently to create. "
