We are proud to announce the launch of the Under the Bridge project is now live. The After the Pandemic team partnered up with @wagners35 & @ohpandah and a collection of talented musicians to pose questions around how performing artists of different kinds can respond creatively to the pandemic. Also asking how we can transform spaces within our cities to be vibrant, community led and design focused.

@wagners35 has been working alongside us to RETHIN

@wagners35 has been working alongside us to RETHINK where classical musicians will play their music over the coming weeks and months in response to the pandemic. This has made us consider spaces around our city which are currently underused, vacant or derelict.

'Under the Bridge' is a project which began in the Summer and launches on the 27th of October.

Brian & Sue Evans
Brian - Pandemics and climate change are both consequences of humanities interaction. And countries can’t hide behind their borders, climate change and pandemics either. So more recognition of the importance of international community and local community is the single biggest thing that needs to come out of lockdown and getting through the pandemic.

Barrington Reeves - I think it’s given a lot of people confidence to talk and be vulnerable for the first time, people have been a lot more open in sharing problems and anxieties, it’s kind of a collective healing essentially.

We’ve been working on the Emerging from Lockdown series of films focusing on Glasgow’s residents experiences as we emerge from lockdown. It’s been amazing hearing everyone’s experiences, thoughts and hopes for Glasgow’s future as time moves on.

Blood, Sugar, Money, Bricks.

@vasantha_piyasena and Sonny, his 12 year old son, pulled together this humbling and inspiring project for the After the Pandemic Summer School to explore how augmented reality could highlight Glasgow's past relationship with the Transatlantic slave trade.

Utilising the technology, you, the user, would be able to add an extra digital layer of history to the built environment. The proposal would see your app respond to the existing buildings and structures associated with this part of Glasgow city's history.

The After the Pandemic Summer School was developed alongside @thedesignweans and part of the wider After the Pandemic initiative which is run by ourselves @stradenmoncrieff and @lauramchard

‘It is an artist's duty to reflect the times in which we live.’ Nina Simone

"Our project explores the use of new digital mediums – virtual, augmented and mixed realities to reveal how Glasgow was shaped by and involved in the Transatlantic slave trade.

The proposal explores different ways of viewing the city through the creative arts, providing an engaging way to recontextualise our surroundings, revealing a hidden layer of history which is currently absent and creating an evolving platform for underrepresented voices.

In the 16th century ideas were developed by the British Empire and written into law in order to justify the enslavement of African people. Created hundreds of years ago these ideas underpin racist actions that affect people’s lives today.

We believe that one of the vital steps to addressing the current issues of inequality in society is educating ourselves about our history."

Blood Sugar Money Bricks was one of the submissions to the After the Pandemic Summer School which the ATP team curated alongside @thedesignweans

Glasgow Emerging from Lockdown

Euan of @social_bite - It’s not like it affected one sole group of people this affected absolutely everyone. So it’s much more coming together now and realising how close we all are and helping each other in different ways.

This project is part of the wider After the Pandemic initiative, a collaboration alongside @stradenmoncrieff and @lauramchard . You can find out more information on the initiative through the link in our bio.

@danielkelly07 reflects on the differences between

@danielkelly07 reflects on the differences between the cycling culture within #munich where he lived as part of his Erasmus year, and his home city of #Glasgow, and how the pandemic is causing himself, and many others, to call for more investment in bike infrastructure within towns and cities throughout Scotland.
Read about his time in #Germany his thoughts about existing Glaswegian cycle responses to #covid19 (pictured), and his ideas for how cycling can welcome a new era of cycle culture within Glasgow.

This is the 5th piece produced for the After the Pandemic initiative, which we are collaborating alongside @stradenmoncrieff and @lauramchard on to RETHINK, REIMAGINE and REDESIGN Glasgow.

AFTER THE PANDEMIC: GreenSpan Today, the Kingston

AFTER THE PANDEMIC: GreenSpan

Today, the Kingston Bridge celebrates its 50th anniversary. Over 150,000 cars cross the bridge daily. Should this still be the case after the pandemic? Do we really want 150,000 cars polluting the city centre of Glasgow every day? Or can we RE-DESIGN our grey arteries to be a lot greener? Can the bridge be more human in scale - and can it be used by the people who make Glasgow?
During lockdown our roads have been quieter, our cities have been healthier, so can we use this moment, this ‘Great Pause’ to RE-IMAGINE every part of our city to be greener and more resilient? Can the 60th anniversary of the Kingston Bridge be a celebration of a bridge transformed - a bridge used on which the tread is our feet rather than our tyres? Could the Kingston Bridge be a lot more like this?
After the Pandemic is an initiative developing community focused, design-led projects which can transform our towns, cities and countries into greener, sustainable and more resilient places to live, work and play.

GLASGOW IN LOCKDOWN

The third project of the 'After the Pandemic' initiative is now live - link to 'After the Pandemic' is in bio.
This project is a short film about Glasgow in Lockdown and is narrated by Ricky Ross of Deacon Blue.
For us, when Glasgow went into lockdown we realised that the city, in some cases, was a lot more grey than green. We don't think that has to remain the situation, and as we recover and build back better, let's RETHINK, REIMAGINE and REDESIGN Glasgow to be greener, sustainable and more resilient.

Get involved and contribute your ideas to the Glasgow of tomorrow.

@hamishmorrison has captured a few absolute stunne

@hamishmorrison has captured a few absolute stunners of our @druimnanlinntean interpretation. Designed for Staffin Community Trust alongside @fortytwo_studio and Lucidity Media, the 15 corten pieces tell the stories of the local community, their landscape and the nature that is found in this wonderful part of the world. Drum nan Linntean, or Ridge of Ages, is Skye's Econmuseum and we'll post a series of other photos of them over the coming weeks.
Fabrication is by @glasgowsculpturestudios

For now, in lockdown, these pieces will be enjoyed by the people of Skye and we can't wait to get to see them up close and personal when we are able to. For now though, stay safe, protect the rural communities of Skye and enjoy the interpretation through these photos.
