We Are Failing But We Have Not Yet Failed by Aliyah Keeley

Location: Wigwam on TCS Campus

Visual Art Piece: An abstract painting of a feeling of comfort in a hard time

Action:

1. Sit down in the wigwam.

2. Take 30 seconds to look at the painting and how it makes you feel.

3. Sanitize your hands using the provided sanitizer and take one copy of Greta Thunberg’s speech “A Strange World” from the ziplock bag and read it.

4. Take another 30 seconds to look at the painting again and notice any new feelings after reading the speech.

5. Listen to the audio clip below of the comforting sound of my dog Musa eating kibble.

6. Turn over the rock that says “flip over after listening to audio clip” to reveal what the sound is that you just listened to. Flip it back over when you are done so it is ready for the next visitor.

7. Think about the sounds and sights in your life that bring you bring you comfort, joy, and hope even in hard times.

8. Make a commitment to yourself to notice these things as much as you can as you take your copy of Greta’s speech with you and leave the wigwam.
