In engaging with questions connected to home and belonging, the artworks we collaboratively co-created have been assembled in ways that foster a sense of togetherness. In looking forward, we tend to also look back and through our thoughtful discussions and artmaking, a poem grew ending with Wellingborough’s coat of arms’ message “Forward Together”. In co-creating new, contemporary, and inclusive narratives of home and belonging through intertwined patterns, textual clues, and playful symbolism, the artworks encourage us to think more deeply about the place(s) we call home. Kremena Dimitrova Forward Together Poem by Kremena Dimitrova in collaboration with Wellingborough’s communities, 26 April 2023. 5 wells 5 rivers 5 weathers 5 strangers You arrive, we meet Then depart They remember We chart routes… new journeys Old hopes I am yearning My roots – They unite us And they keep us apart New beginnings; new starts Old longings; new dreams Where am I belonging As I move forward As I reach toward As I get a step closer I then turn; I feel in reverse Here you are sitting While thinking of there I traverse; I then return While thinking of how to atone While thinking “Do I dare” Where is додому Where is my home If not here, then where Somewhere Everywhere Nowhere It’s neither close by nor afar There you are not alone I too wonder if I am unfitting Then off I wander It’s unremitting 5 wells 5 rivers 5 weathers 5 strangers I arrive, we meet Then depart We remember It’s a new story of which I am a part Don’t worry; you wave It’s a new weather; I smile It has been a while It’s neither if nor whether Forward Together « Wellingborough Stories Festival « Prize Draw Survey Updates Sign up to our e-newsletter or follow on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & LinkedIn
