We love the review of #28YearsLater from @davidhering.bsky.social's substack, 'Notes From the End of Cinema' - especially these insightful comments about trauma and memorials. ❤️
Two pictures. One, a tower of human skulls. Under it is a picture of the memorial wall. The text reads: davidhering.substack.com Human bones, in this moment, is transfigured from gruesome spectacle to site of remembrance. As with the post-9/11 collage of the dead and missing in 28 Days Later, this can't help but recall the Covid memorial wall of hearts in London, or the sea of white flags in Washington DC. Boyle is tapping into something very potent here: Britain is not over the pandemic, and it's not over Brexit and the blind rage that it unleashed. Rather than an island full of noises, it's an island that cannot fully vocalise the trauma that it has been through and continues to go through. As of now, it feels like the only British film that has fully tried to reckon, albeit abstractly, with what the country has experienced.

A petition started by a young friend whose mother died of hospital acquired covid in August of 2024. Without mitigations, people are unnecessarily dying of covid still. Please sign if you can. ❤️

#ThrowbackThursday to the summer of 2022 when the volunteers created a maze of 1700 photos of our lost loved ones in front of the Houses of Parliament. We believe visual representations like this bring home the true extent of our loss in a way that statistics cannot. ♥️
Hundreds of photos attached by wooden pegs to a maze of orange webbing that winds around a square in front of the houses of parliament.

Two dates for your diary:

Today @dcmsgovuk.bsky.social and @lisanandymp.bsky.social announced March 9th as the 2025 Day of Reflection.

March 29th 2025 is the 4th anniversary of the memorial wall.

We will be holding events at the wall on both days. ♥️

An important day at the #CovidInquiry today as four bereaved people take the stand in turn to speak about their experience.

Sending Anna Louise, Margaret, Saleyha and Martina all our love and thanks for speaking on behalf of so many.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

My friend @franfd.bsky.social regularly makes these beautiful mandalas for her husband's grave. We will never forget our men. Forever loved. ❤️

Ah thank you for sharing this ❤️

Making mandalas for him has a similar feeling as helping care for the wall - painting hearts and writing dedications on behalf of others is something practical to do that helps channel this grief.

Tonight we leave you with this beautiful mandala made by one of our volunteers for her husband's grave. ♥️ Love endures.
