Landmark
LANDMARK Our 2019 Art Walk Porty Festival programme considered the changing post industrial landscape of Western Portobello, exploring the working land in relation to the growing of communities and place identity.
Working with sites of Buchan Potteries and Craigentinny Telferton Allotments a series of reseach based projects developed centring around Material Land, Working Land and Walking Land.
The programme was accompanied by a 5-part walking project FOOTPRINT working with artists Chris Dooks, Alec Finlay, Deirdre Macleod, Holger Mohaupt and Suzanne Parry.
