Touchstone is a community participatory project that explores a new way of approaching feelings of grief through creativity and action using a unique process and experience created by artist Gillian Allard for the Platforma Festival, produced by Counterpoints Arts, made possible by funding from Arts Council England & Suffolk County Council.
