Radical Parkhead panel

Item Type:	Exhibition
Creators:	McLaren, A.
Date:	August 2016
Abstract:	Weave Parkhead! was a collaboration between schools, community groups, weavers and archaeologists to create a series of four woven panels celebrating the history and heritage of Parkhead. The project was delivered as part of the Parkhead Cross Townscape Heritage Initiative. Over the 2015-2016, the Weave Parkhead! team ran a series of workshops and events in and around Parkhead, combining weaving, creative craft skills and historical research with the aim of revealing the spirit of Parkhead – the stories, people and places that make it unique. The conversations we had during these sessions informed and inspired the design of the panels. The completed panels will be installed in the foyer of the former Parkhead Primary School. Renovation works on the Category B-Listed school are currently underway and the building is due to open as a local enterprise centre in 2017. An exhibition of the panels and accompanying research was held at Imageo Gallery, Glasgow on 20-25 August 2016. Curated by Ingrid Shearer and Carolyn Alexander, featuring the panels created by Angharad McLaren, Shielagh Tacey, Bespoke Atelier and Lauren Day.
