Do you run a community group, grassroots project or service that meets up on a Wednesday , or a Thursday afternoon? 

Would your group or service users be interested in being involved in this project, and could you co-host a session? 

I would like to meet you!

I am Saffy, an artist and facilitator commissioned by Greenspace Stirling and Scene Stirling to lead on Phase 1 of Remembering Together across the region.

My brief is to research and generate ideas with communities, to inform the making of Covid Community Memorials in Phase 2 . The idea of memorial is held loosely and expansively in this project- some communities may prefer to imagine the future rather than back, for instance.

This research project will last until January 2023. The aim is to co-create an artist’s brief (in any form) for the memorials which reflects the multiple perspectives and places of Stirling. I am from a dance background, however my practice encompases a wide range of practices such as walking, writing, ecological practices, sensory exercises and working with materials. 

Currently I am researching and scoping potential participant groups. My intention is to facilitate 5 events throughout the region, On Wednesdays or Thursday afternoons across November-December.

Each session will be with a different group. The groups will be selected to ensure a variety of voices, spread of geography, and range of lived experience. The session approach would be to begin with gentle creative activity, connecting with nature as a doorway into conversation and imagining possibilities together for the memorials. 

Please sign up for an online drop in.

Refreshments will be provided. 

If you cannot meet on this day online, please add other and we can try to arrange a conversation in the near future or sign up to our mailing list on the bottom of our main page.

Please RSVP with your availability for online using the form on this page or email us if you have questions to hello@scenestirling.com

I look forward to meeting you. 

Kind Regards

Saffy
