AND FINALLY..... Edinburgh-based artist Alec Finlay has been commissioned to design Scotland's Covid Memorial, which will honour lost loved ones and recognise the impact of the pandemic upon us all, helping to shape a culture of recuperation.
Alec's key ideas are 'I remember' and 'support'. These ideas will inform the design of a series of physical structures which will be refined into the final memorial artwork in Pollok Country Park in Glasgow. There are also some forthcoming events to attend led by Alec Finlay, Lucy Richards, and Ken Cockburn. All are free, but please book via Eventbrite via the links below.
I remember (older people and carers), Thursday 9 September, 11.00-12.30 - This is an online event in association with Life Changes Trust.
I remember at Pollok Country Park, Saturday 11 September 11:00-15.00 - a drop-in creative session guided by Alec Finlay, Lucy Richards, Ken Cockburn & Hannah Laycock.
