👀 Ideas please! What to do with almost 1,000 cardboard virtual reality headsets for smartphones from a project that didn't quite get off the ground at our 2016 festival?!
Please get in touch with suggestions and/or details of projects that can make use of them.

Stuck for something to do? Why not go on a sculpture hunt. The Aviatrix moth, which was part of the A Moth for Amy project, can still be found on the side of Hull Truck Theatre (Ferensway). Download a map or the mobile-friendly finder below.
Who'd like to rediscover the Amy Johnson Moth and Larkin Toad sculptures?

Glad you enjoyed #twentydays @RealTimVine
A great photo of Amy Johnson and her plane called Jason. It was this month in 1930 she completed the 20 day solo flight from Croydon to Australia. I thoroughly recommend reading the diary she wrote over those 20 days. Incredible. @amyjohnsonarts #twentydays

I agree. Listening to the instalments we’ve been playing on the radio has been fascinating. #twentydays

She was only 26 when she did this (younger than me!) and she'd only obtained her pilot's licence the year before. What a woman!

Amazing #AmyJohnson deserved every cheer!
Ninety years ago, #AmyJohnson was enjoying her new fame. A world tour beckoned. Here she is waving with flowers in Sydney, being met by crowds in London and, on 11 Aug 1930, taxiing home to fans, friends and family at Hedon Aerodrome, in Hull.

Loved being involved with @amyjohnsonarts #TwentyDays. Not quite what we envisaged when things were originally planned but the online celebration turned out damn fine.
