Watch and listen to the beautiful short poetry film, ‘Ticket to Hope’ by poet Helen Mort ( and spot Project eARTh’s collages , too …)
Ticket to Hope is a community poem compiled in autumn 2020 by Helen Mort from the words of people who live, work or study in Derbyshire. They were asked to respond to the question ‘what does hope mean to you?’. Helen has curated these words into a new poem and short film which has incorporated as many people’s ideas as possible. Even words which didn’t directly make it into the poem have influenced the tone and mood of the piece and the images chosen for the film. Thank you to everyone who participated. This project was supported by Derbyshire County Council and Arts Derbyshire.
