I sit here and watch and wait - Opening night

As part of Remembering Together, a co-creation project with communities and individuals affected by Covid-19, I sit here and watch and wait is an exhibition of community artwork and ideas generated from the residents of West Lothian throughout 2022 (phase 1 of the project).

The collection of artworks on display at the Burgh Halls seeks to share collective and individual experiences of the pandemic through a diverse range of artworks and stories. the display includes textiles, collages and photographs co-created by residents of West Lothian during phase one of the project with artist Marion Parola of Bespoke Atelier.

The immersive space invites visitors to take a peaceful moment to reflect and share. The location of the local green space where a new shared reflection area will be designed will also be revealed, creating an opportunity for the community to contribute more ideas and suggestions in this collaborative project.
