Radiant Connections

Environments shape communities – communities shape environments

Four international curators explore and celebrate the reciprocal connections between communities and their environments. From the tenements of Govanhill to Uibhist and Scandinavia, join us at The Briggait on a journey of what works for communities around the world.

A hands-on workshop will take place on Sunday 8th June inviting the festival visitors to collaboratively reflect on the theme of connections between communities and their environments, share stories, celebrate successes and dream about the future.

This event is open to people of all ages, interested in any mediums of expression. We hope you will join us in bringing your ideas to life at The Briggait. Free to attend.

The New Producers programme from the Architecture Fringe aims to encourage and develop new voices in event organisation, exhibition production, curation, writing and cultural leadership in Scotland - expanding the practice of architecture.

Supported by mentors Stacey Hunter, Anna Gormezano, Grace Browne and Kam Chan, this second edition of the programme brings together four new voices tasked with creating new cultural work for the Architecture Fringe 2025 Core Programme.
