    The Future Paisley Podcast #7: Glen Cinema Artists

    This week Craig hosts a very special episode with artists Kerry Stewart and Rachel Lowther.

Our guests cover the history of the tragedy and the impact it had on the town which is still present today. Kerry and Rachel are working to replace the silence, with their careful approach to creating a work of art which engages and amplifies the voices of the town. Please note, the works and locations mentioned are still only in the proposal stage right now and may change and develop as more consultations happen.
