Reflecting on the last twelve months and looking forward to 2023
Do you remember or were you involved with the Easterhouse Arts Project - and/or Easterhouse Camera Club?
These two projects took place in Easterhouse and surrounding areas from the late 1960s through to the early 1990s.
Documenting a snapshot of this period of time, archival material has been shared by artist Alan Dunn and his family - which are on display in Platform vitrines in The Bridge library. These are free to view - pop in during opening times for a look.
Alan, who is now based in Liverpool, grew up in the East End of Glasgow and went on to study at Glasgow School of Art.
While studying community art, he worked on various projects with Easterhouse Arts Project from around 1987 to the early 1990s, including setting up and raising funds for the Rogerfield Arts Project.
Alan's dad, Ian Dunn, was a member of Easterhouse Camera Club during the late 1980s.
On display at Platform you can view a small selection of photos that were taken by Ian for photography competitions while he was President of Easterhouse Camera Club, alongside some of his personal photos – documenting family life, neighbours and local gala days across the east end of Glasgow.
There are also some of Alan’s archive of photographs and posters he designed while working with Easterhouse Arts Project.
If you remember any of these projects, took part or remember Ian or Alan Dunn – we would love to hear from you. Please get in touch via email, marked for the attention of Margaret McCormick - info@platform-online.co.uk -or pop into The Bridge and speak to a Platform staff member.
