Hold Me Dear: Testing Grounds Exhibition, Melbourne, May – June 2014
The HOLD ME DEAR project was founded in February 2014 by Jenny Humberstone. Inspired by her profession as a Landscape Architect and Urban Designer, Jenny has a keen interest in how people use and experience spaces, and wanted to find a way to share the great variety of ways we as individuals form associations with place. This is often the result of our memories, experiences and subjective interpretations of place, and can result in places we treasure, but rarely share the stories behind why with others. The HOLD ME DEAR project therefore aims to create a platform from which our individual stories of place can be shared with one another.
The project is a curated collection of beautiful photographs and personal stories which together express why specific places mean so much to us as individuals. The continually evolving gallery can be found online here.
The HOLD ME DEAR project has a deliberately open approach and process for submissions, with any individual worldwide able to contribute via the website. This is key to the ethos of the project, and aims to openly reflect, the experiences, stories and memories of the widest range of individuals. As such, anyone with a place in mind, can send a photograph with a 50 words caption to theholdmedearproject@gmail.com to be included in the gallery.
