​'How can I still facilitate participatory art when we’re self isolated, socially distanced and can’t touch what anyone else has touched?'

Wishing trees is a series of 4 participatory art installations 'planted' outside in public spaces in Bristol. On account of the prevalent contamination anxiety due to Covid-19, I can't leave materials for participants to add so instead passers-by are invited to bring something to tie to the tree next time they walk that way. There has been a wonderful range of responses both physically and virtually, as many people have sent messages via social media for me to add to the installations. There have also been some complaints.
​
It seems that it is still possible to facilitate participatory art, even during the Covid-19 lock down.
