Three Decades at the Heart of the Community – An Exhibition by Rossville Group
This project worked with staff and clients to create artwork celebrating the 30th anniversary at the heart of the community. Using diverse artistic techniques such as pinhole photography, printmaking and photograms, participants explored the rich visual culture distinctive to the Bogside location. This colourful artwork is now installed on the exterior of the building as a celebration of the joyful creativity taking place every day within the walls of Pilots Row.
Workshops introduced members to the process of pinhole photography and participants utilised these low tech ‘cameras’ to capture images around the Bogside area, focusing on iconic landmarks. These were developed in the analogue darkroom within Pilots Row. We also created photograms to create abstract prints. An introduction to a simple printmaking process enabled individuals to create further colourful abstract prints. These outputs are combined to create the final bespoke artwork and are presented in an exhibition in Eden Place Arts Centre in Pilot’s Row on Culture Night Friday 20 September 2024 6-8pm. The exhibition continues until Friday 4 October 2024.
