The hidden history of Edinburgh’s Southside. Learn a new art technique during workshops with artists Marta Adamowicz and Robert Motyka, and create illustrations for a local history exhibition while discussing lore and legends of Edinburgh’s Southside with a historian and Southside resident – Diarmid Mogg.The workshops are a great way to get to know the neighbourhood and its dark secrets. They will create bonds within the community, help discover new facts about the nooks and crannies of the Southside, be an excellent excuse to begin ancestral research, and provide a route to discover the history of buildings that are still standing or might have long ago perished.
The project will end in an outdoor exhibition of the stories and participants’ illustrations in the heart of Newington – on the Southside Community Centre.
Diarmid Mogg is a writer and researcher in Edinburgh. He is the author of the websites Tenement Town (tenementtown.com), and the award-winning Small Town Noir (smalltownnoir.com), which tells the life stories of the ordinary people featured in a cache of old mugshots from one small Pennsylvanian town. He is currently writing a non-fiction book about the lives of the people involved in a 1905 murder in a Glasgow tenement.
