NURTURE | TURTLE PARK
TRAMWAY BEYOND WALLS COMMISSION
2024

As part of an ongoing Beyond Walls strand, this project is bringing permanent installations in two local park spaces close to Tramway in Southside, Glasgow Scotland- ‘Turtle Park’ on the corner of Leslie Street / Forth Street and ‘Stepping Stone Park’ on the corner of Leslie Street / Keir Street, both in Pollokshields.

With crucial funding from the Art Fund – Respond and Reimagine Grants for Arts Organisations, Tramway has raised money for a series of permanent public commissions by Glasgow based artists and designers. These are made for and  situated in our immediate community, and enhance planting and greenspaces. 

Following public consultation these have taken the form of social seating, bespoke planters, murals, revitalising existing planters, habitats for wildlife, general access improvements and refurbishments. 

Works are being carried out in partnership with Glasgow City Council’s Neighbourhood Regeneration Services.

SANDRA GEORGE COMMISSSION
GSA EXHIBTIONS & CRAIGMILLAR NOW
GLASGOW INTERNATIONAL
2024

In Spring 2024, I was commissioned to respond to the work of Prolific Photographer and Artist Sandra George. Sandra was a community worker in Craigmillar, Edinburgh. She was a prolific social-documentary photographer, taking thousands of images of community projects across Scotland from the late 1970s through into the late 2000s. Both social justice and equity were at the heart of her community and artistic work.

This print is a response to her and her legacy. Supported by Craigmillar Now and GSA Exhibitions.

In Addition to the print an event took place called “An Evening for Sandra George” celebrating the life and legacy of artist Sandra George, with a discussion between artist Christian Noelle Charles, and writers Zoe Lorimer and Titilayo Farukuoye. (Click on Image of talk to see the recording of the livestream).

This event creates space for meaningful conversation and connection, honouring Sandra’s contributions while highlighting the ongoing importance of amplifying Black voices in the arts. It offers an opportunity to gain insight into Sandra’s work and participatory practice and its profound impact on Scotland’s artistic landscape, and to explore the intersections of art and community engagement. This discussion will also engage in a reflective dialogue on the experiences of living as Black women in Scotland, and the pivotal role of community in navigating challenges and fostering resilience.

This event is part of Glasgow International’s Gatherings, and has been programmed by Christian Noelle Charles as part of her Sandra George Archive Commission for Glasgow International.
