Last day to catch ‘Grace of the Sun’ the giant light poem you’ve all been taking snaps with! Tonight will be the last night to see this spectacular installation.

'Grace of the Sun' is a large-scale art piece by Robert Montgomery artist made using the Little Sun solar lamps designed by Olafur Eliasson and Frederik Ottesen, realised in Glasgow through collaboration with the local art community.

Measuring 11 metres by 5 metres the giant solar-powered light poem will illuminate every day at sunset as a poetic beacon of hope for Glasgow.

The solar lamps Little Sun produces provide power to many of the 600 million people living without electricity in the Southern Hemisphere. After their brief installation in Glasgow, the lights will be donated to Little Sun’s work on the ground in Sub-Saharan Africa. Little Sun has already brought solar light and power to over 3 million people on the African continent.

**PROPAGATE WORKSHOP RESCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY 14TH 1-4PM**

Time to get muddy take 2!

We’re really excited that we could reschedule this workshop that had to be cancelled last weekend because of the weather.

The Propagate team will launch Soil and Soul at The Landing Hub, a project where they will engage with different communities to initiate new conversations about soil, to explore why soil matters and how people relate to it culturally, historically and geographically. This will lead up to The World Congress of Soil Science 2022 to be held in Glasgow next year. Expect engaging information on different types of soil and how this relates to our waste ground site used for the Landing Hub.

Propagate will test soil with participants, looking at its composition as compared to healthy growing mediums, to explore this further. There will also be three soil-related, participatory drop-in workshops interesting for families, creatives, growers, community groups and anyone wanting to learn more about our environment.
