Hidden Tramway 2008

Our familiar habitats are so-often taken for granted, that we miss what is actually there, hidden from our viewing habits. Sites are filled with images, smells, atmospheres, abandoned objects, fragments of rubbish (or treasure), memories, histories, traces of past events and forgotten people


Tramway is a found site celebrated by artists and audiences who recognise it as a space of possibility. An unresolved space awaiting creative interpretation. Treating the found site as a creative partner, seven of Scotlands leading poets have created a suite of poems inspired by a location deep in the heart of Tramway that is usually passed by and unnoticed. This collection characterises a diverse range of cultural experience and heritage which is reflective of Glasgow and particularly of Tramways local community. Each poet has explored a particular space leading to a unique and personal insight into spaces inscribed with the memories of people, work and activity.

Poets: Colin Storrie, Rahat Zahid, Jack Sims & Yvonne Caddell, Daljeet Dilber, Basia Palka, Mahmood Farzan, Christie Williamson
