During lockdown I worked with Commercial Group, a sustainable office supplies company, to set weekly creative challenges for the employees and their children.
Each task was designed to use things that would already be in the house, putting an emphasis on re-cycling and re-imagining materials. The tasks ranged from costume making and storytelling, shadow puppet shows, machine making, mask making, collaging and sock puppets. For each challenge I also performed the task and shared it on the instagram @liberty_bibbity.
We used the challenges as fundraisers, where Commercial donated £5 for each creation to the NHS and to PPE makers.
