2019 to 2021
As part of the Paisley TH.CARS2 regeneration programme, in 2019 artist Morwenna Kearsley was commissioned to produce Picturing Paisley, a project exploring the town’s history of textiles manufacturing through its built environment. Using photography as the primary means of expression, Morwenna worked with three different groups brought together by: Disability Resource Centre; Outspoken Arts; and West College Scotland. Creating their own photo-stories through a series of workshops, participants undertook research trips to Paisley town centre and visited collections at Paisley Thread Mill Museum and University of Glasgow Archives.
