Compass Festival
From 19–28 March, all of the public pay phones in Leeds will ring at the same time. With this call for connection, in a city with one of the highest suicide rates in the UK, ZU-UK aims to refocus the lens through which contemporary loneliness and hopelessness are viewed. Join Jadé and Jorge, ZU-UK’s directors, to discuss their experiences of making their current project: Pick Me Up (& hold me tight).
Through an invitation to answer a public pay phone, ZU-UK want to give people the chance to reflect, remember and gather in a mass act of contemplation about the relationship between mental health and modern life: changes in the fabric of our communities, the shrinking of public space and contact between fellow humans. Is the suicide of an individual a tragic pathological sickness, or a societal failure? It has become more important than ever that we remember how to listen. The story begins when the first phone is answered.
