Social Scaffolding, The Designer Outlet Centre, Swindon, 11-26 November 2023
Swindon was the final venue in Social Scaffolding's 6-venue, Arts Council-funded tour in the South West of England between April and November 2023. in 2022, before the tour, we faciliated two pilot exhibitions in Taunton and at the Emerge Showcase at Bath Spa University in Bath. We also exhibited at two other Emerge Showcases in 2023. Please visit the Social Scaffolding website for full details. Many thanks to the other Social Scaffolding artists, Alyson Minkley and Juliet Duckworth, and to the Emerge community for all their support throughout.
Social Scaffolding in Swindon really was a grand finale to our tour! It was the busiest venue by far, with so many visitors and wonderful interactions and conversations. It was utterly amazing.
As well as the crowds, we had a couple of delightful and unexpected visits - one from a group of Daleks...
...and one from The Concierge of Kindness, a roaming group of performers who composed an improvised pompom song for us!
