Care Pack utilized sound, video, and body actions to create supportive experiences centred around gratitude and giving. Ten sanitizing care packs were distributed to audience members/collaborators to be passed on to 2SLGBTQQIPA+ elders. The ensuing conversations and experiences from this initial gesture were vital to the project, prompting the question: "How can I care for you now?"
