This artistic timeline traces some of the stories, events and memories of the Ripple Project and the community it serves. It started life on a large roll of paper, which the Ripple Project team – along with some of their members – used to trace some of the milestones in the almost 30-year history of the project.
This initial draft was then taken to a workshop with members of the Older People’s Group, who added further memories, stories, and details to the timeline.
Jenny Capon, our lead artist, then took this version and created an illustrated version which was shared with the Ripple’s staff, volunteers and members, which were added by Jenny into the final version in the exhibition.
The communities of Lochend, Restalrig and Craigentinny, together with the Ripple Project and the Binks Hub, have created a series of artworks exploring the memories, experiences, realities, hopes and dreams of the local community.
