FONDS - Stories of People through Objects they Love

We celebrate the opening of a new exhibition space at Tramway, the Greater Govanhill Community Canvas space, with its first display.

FOND, a new photography exhibition, film and podcast, tells the stories of Govanhill through its most treasured objects, and invites listeners to embark on a captivating journey through the lives of the residents of Govanhill.

Told through photography and in the participants' own words, FONDS is a project about how the evocative objects we keep connect us to the people and places we love.

Some of the objects included in the collection include a glass fish, a box of spells, a wooden boat, a sticking plaster, and a teddy bear. From Pakistan to Syria, Turkey to Hong Kong the objects featured represent stories of migration, transformation, love, and resilience.

Join Tramway and Greater Govanhill for the launch event on the afternoon of Saturday 3 February.

The community exhibition space can be found in our Upper Gallery and will be accessible during Tramway's opening hours.
