Here are some photos of our fantastic statues from yesterday’s Streetland Festival in Govanhill, good work to all. We basically asked people, “If they were to build a statue to you in Govanhill, what would it say?” Big thanks to our excellent assistant Amber who helped out on the day and did a great job of bullying people into climbing onto the plinth.

BE A STATUE
“We want to know your thoughts on the “street”, the things you like, your favourite places, your secrets. We want to know your stories of the area, your hopes for the future or your memories of the past. Join us as we travel round Govanhill recording the stories of the people we meet; take a piece of chalk, write your message on the board, climb up the steps and become a statue. Or take a title from our suggestion box and then try and become that phrase.”
