Fire Stories is a multimedia project led by artist Keira McLean in collaboration with filmmaker Caireen Stuart and animator Akvile Dirmauskaite. Part of Glasgow International Festival 2026.Co-designed and produced with residents of Easterhouse, a neighbourhood in the northeast of Glasgow, the project aims to unearth the histories of Greater Easterhouse through a series of participatory workshops, culminating in a special community performance - which will take place at The Glenburn Centre on the 19 & 20th June.
The campfire, the hearth, the brazier of a picket, “round the fire” is where we come together, to sit, to share stories, to break bread.
A round the fire it’s easy to imagine a world in which we live in solidarity. We’re living through another period of political austerity, social-economic deprivation, rampant isolation, and loneliness; we feel disconnected and powerless.
We need to remember our history, our struggles, our victories, our defeats. How can this knowledge serve as a beacon of hope and action today? We are here and we want to live!
