hidden city 1
Our familiar habitats are so-often taken for granted, that we miss what is actually there, hidden from our viewing habits. Rachel Jury and Donna Campbell sought out a 'site' in Glasgow city centre that is usually hidden to the inhabitants and visitors of the city. They invited six other poets to join them in creating a response to the site and on Sunday the 26th of March they performed their work in situ.
The audience were asked to meet at a specified location and were then taken to the site for the performance. This one off event was intended as a pilot to test the feasibility of developing the project the following years.
The event was a great success and generated a great deal of interest. We look forward to developing the idea further.
A pamphlet of the poems created for the site
