SUMMARY:: Independents Biennial: Project Lovebomb
DESCRIPTION:Project Lovebomb\n14th August – 10th September 2023\nHeld a
 cross the city at venues including Whisc\, Lovelocks\, Gasp Vintage &amp\;
  Make North Docks\n\nLovebombing is a manipulative technique used to groom
  someone into an abusive relationship. It consists of flooding that person
  with attention\, affection and compliments. It’s the honeymoon period o
 n steroids but it’s completely insincere and designed to hook the target
  in and make it harder to leave once the abuse starts.\n\nSome of the effe
 cts of lovebombing include feeling conned (or actually being conned in som
 e cases)\, feeling traumatised\, feeling lonely and isolated and lastly\, 
 feeling resilient.\n\nThis project originated from an experience of being 
 lovebombed into an abusive relationship and aims to reclaim “lovebombing
 ” from being something negative to something positive to make something 
 good out of a negative experience\, that not only benefits me but others t
 oo.\n\nIt also seeks to raise awareness about lovebombing and to spark dis
 cussion around abusive relationships. It also champions showing appreciati
 on to the people we care about.\n\nProject Lovebomb is led by Emily Salina
 s as a series of interactive creative projects that will begin 14th Augus
 t 2023 running until 10th September. Details of each piece of the series 
 can be found below:\n\n 	Part One: The Lovebombs (14th – 27th August) 
 \n 	Part Two: The Appreciation Campaign (28th August – 10th September)\
 n 	Part Three: The Event (Sat 9th September at Lovelocks)\n 	Part Four: T
 he Workshops (Date TBC)\n\nGo Fund Me\n\nThe money raised from the Go Fund
  Me campaign will help raise money for the workshops at Whisc and towards
  the Appreciation campaign (although people can specify if they only wan
 t their money to go to just one or the other).\n\nSupport Project Lovebomb
  and Whisc here\, or search for Project Lovebomb\n\nAs well as in-person e
 vents\, the process of building care packages will be shared through instr
