Connecting for Good and the people of Coventry invite you to rest. To listen. To lie down. A journey for the ill, infirm and sick. That is all of us. An ode to invisible disability and to acts of bravery we don’t see.

Lie down with us in solidarity to those who need resting spaces and join us in making Coventry the UK’s first Restful City. Grapevine are calling for a permanent POD or resting bench to be co-designed by people with lived experience to be installed in Coventry. This event is held in solidarity with the resting space action in Bristol led by Raquel Meseguer who brought A Crash Course in Cloudspotting to Coventry as part of City of Culture back in October 2021.
