Event with Iain Craig and Virginia Hutchison: Thursday 13 June, 7pm – 8pm
Where We Stand, Scotland’s community ownership journey over the last 100 years… and where we go next is an exhibition which will tell the stories and achievements of the pioneers of community ownership, a movement that has transformed Scotland. Find out more about the Travelling Gallery exhibition here.
Curator of the exhibition, Iain Craig will be joined by one of the featured artists, Virginia Hutchinson. Talking about the project over all, and a performance of the soundscape work Virgina made with the Galson Estate Trust. There will also be an opportunity for questions and discussion.
Oral history workshop with Iain Craig: Friday 14 June, 10am – 12pm
Community Land Scotland recognises the importance of community owners telling their own stories, so we’re running workshops to support people to present their stories themselves.
Join us for an exciting workshop to help community owners collect and share their own oral history which documents the path towards community ownership. This engaging workshop, led by Iain Craig, will help with practical tools for collecting stories as well as creating space for discussion and skills sharing, drawing from the expertise of the participants.
Ultimately, communities will add their unique content to the new archive website, to build a resource which informs of and reflects on the journey of community ownership in Scotland to date, from the perspective of those who know it best.
