Watch the birdie on Friday!
Muirhouse Centipede Project are holding two free portrait sessions on Friday (25 October): 10am – 12pm and 2-4pm at North Edinburgh Arts.
The photos will be taken by professional photographer, Kenny Bean (www.kennybean.co.uk). Each participant will be able to take away a free print of their photograph on the day as well as digital copies of their images if they bring in a memory stick.
The photographs will be used at a ‘Luminous Muirhouse’, a festival of light we are organising for November (see poster below).
The festival is to highlight the housing situation in Muirhouse. We will be painting the blue prints of a  ‘dream home’ onto the ground using glow in the dark paint that will be lit up on the night. There will also be furniture made that will represent various community group’s dream home or garden, which will also be painted with the same glow in the dark paint. The home and furniture will be designed through consultations with local community groups.
The images will be projected onto a large wall on the night for the whole community to see.
The Friday sessions are drop-in – for further information call 0131 315 6408.
