West End Carnival Parade
Sunday 15th June 3 - 4.30pm

A group of 6 seagulls, 4 butterflies and 3 10ft towers appeared at this years West End Festival Parade.  This years procession theme was natural.  Multi-story artists Iseult Timmermans and Rob Welsh worked with young people at Tron St.Mary's Church in Springburn to bring aspects of the Red Road environment to carnival life through foam, fabric and glitter. 

The 10 foot foam replicas of the endangered Red Road flats reflect the local landscape - they also aim to celebrate a dying breed of housing for the positive social vision they represented and the diverse communities they now house in Glasgow.

The towers travelled through to the New Scottish Parliament to greet MSP's at the Parlimentary launch of Scottish Refugee Week 2008 on Wednesday 18th June.

Other outings are planned, so call back for details of future tower escapades.
