BEYOND THE GAMES

For the first six months of 2024, Strange Field will host an Artist in Residence with local photographer Chris Leslie, documenting the changes in Dalmarnock over the past ten years, coinciding with the 10 year anniversary of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. The project will revisit the work Chris made between 2007-2014 to document Dalmarnock and, in its ten year anniversary, will examine the legacy of the 2014 Commonwealth Games and subsequent impact it has had on local residents. Chris will work with the local community to develop an oral archive and photography collection that documents the stories, heritage and recent history of Dalmarnock. The residency will culminate in a major exhibition in July 2024 at Strange Field’s French Street venue, with new photographic and film works and an oral archive archive, as well as an ongoing digital archive available to view online.
