The hidden history of Edinburgh’s Southside. Learn a new art technique during workshops with artists Marta Adamowicz and Robert Motyka, and create illustrations for a local history exhibition while discussing lore and legends of Edinburgh’s Southside with a historian and Southside resident – Diarmid Mogg.
The workshops are a great way to get to know the neighbourhood and its dark secrets. They will create bonds within the community, help discover new facts about the nooks and crannies of the Southside, be an excellent excuse to begin ancestral research, and provide a route to discover the history of buildings that are still standing or might have long ago perished.
The project will end in an outdoor exhibition of the stories and participants’ illustrations in the heart of Newington – on the Southside Community Centre. The exhibition will run in front of the Community Centre from 12 April at 1pm until 12 May.
