Clyde Commons. A performance lab and immersive walk and talk.
With new developments, including the Govan–Partick bridge, Govan is often said to be ‘up and coming’. For some, this is good news and for others it suggests the possibility of gentrification in the area, leading to higher housing costs. But what is gentrification? How does it reveal itself? New cafes and bars? middle class incomers? Or something else?
This immersive walk and talk, led by writer, researcher and former resident Neil Gray, will cover the central Govan area, discussing these issues and asking what it all means for the Clyde Commons. It will also pose the question of walking as an urban research method.
Dance artist and choreographer Saffy Setohy will share aspects of current work emerging from her Clyde Bioregion Residency.
The event will also see the re-launch of the Centre for Human Ecology’s Clydeside reference library and community learning space, in the Pearce Institute, Govan, with Luke Devlin and Anne Winther.
