Oh dear,
now I know why Sayrathim Lothian likes her guerrilla kindness projects,
it was a wonderful feeling photographing the little treasures and then leaving them for others to find.
Artists often give their art up to the world, in the hope that it will survive, but for this project it was a great feeling to send them on their final journey into the outside world.
Here is our first message to the world which I thought apt to place in a little booth of messages.

| having gleefully picked up my flyers and posters at metrowest |
 |
| unwrapping the first cup! |
 |
| trying out places to leave it |
 |
| the final resting place for our first message in a cup |
This project has been partly inspired by Sayrathim Lothian's work, to see more about her guerrilla kindness projects and craftivisim follow this link: http://sayraphimlothian.com/

Message in a Cup
Messages and stories of learning in Footscray are collected and then written onto the insides of one hundred handmade blue cups. The cups are placed in Footscray during BluScray events to be found by people and taken home. The project gives voice to peoples experiences and understandings of learning and shares these ideas with others in the city of Footscray.
Message in a Cup is part of BluScray, a program of blue-themed arts and cultural events held throughout 2016 to celebrate Victoria University’s Centenary in collaboration with Maribyrnong City Council for the Footscray University Town initiative.
