Collective acts of reflection, remembrance, hope and healing with communities across Scotland
Remembering Together has come to an end after 3 years
Remembering Together was a creative community co-creation project, running from July 2021 to September 2024.
We have worked with communities across Scotland to co-create memorials which will honour the people we have lost, mark what has been lost and changed in our lives, and preserve the best of what we have learned and created together during the Covid pandemic.
To do this, we have commissioned artists/creatives in every one of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas to co-create Covid memorials with people and communities. Remembering Together was a co-creation project because:
Co-creation is a process that involves people working together to make something that means something to those people
Covid has touched every life in Scotland
Co-creating memorial projects helps to translate the personal experiences of Covid into something that holds meaning for a whole community
Co-creating memorial projects with community members creates projects that are meaningful to those communities
Using co-creation for Remembering Together means there is space for every kind of experience of Covid to be shared and understood
Co-creation was be a powerful tool for us to create memorials, because when people experience difficult times, being together in community can help us heal
