Bring the Happy

It’s still lovely and has developed a fair bit since I last spoke about it but they where forced to move out of the light and move into the market… go there instead.

Wow. I want more of this in Leeds please. Another quirky venture, albeit time limited, to spring up in Leeds as promoted by Art In Unusual Spaces. Essentially, this shop space (now market space) is a small booth like area where the good folk of Yorkshire may come along, if lucky enough munch on a caramel bite, and log their happiest memories in Leeds.
I heard recently that two fellows had coined a similar idea, to log the most murderous areas in the UK (or something), and I think this is the perfect antidote. Why would we want some depressing fear-​inducing map of the grisliest aspects of humanity, when we can map the happy and send a man in a bear suit to go and spread hugs and love in the most positive-​deprived areas?
What a lovely idea. I believe the map may now be up in Kirkgate Market, for all to see, and they are still collecting and collating memories. The chaps are super friendly and it’s a lovely thing to go and spend fifteen minutes or so recalling your most treasured memories. I’ve logged two, and I said I’d be back, as obviously I’ve a lot to recall. I highly suggest you go and pay them a visit whilst it’s still going on!
Bring the Happy. Aw yeah.
