Film, Mapping and River Walk with Jamie Wardrop
Join artist and researcher Jamie Wardrop for a special day of film, discussion, digital exploration and riverside observation, centred on the White Cart Water and its journey from the Eaglesham Moors through Glasgow to Paisley.
Hosted at the University of the West of Scotland, this multimedia event will present a new film-based work developed during Jamie’s Turning the Tide residency. Through moving image, environmental research and creative storytelling, the work explores the river’s ecology, health, local wildlife, and the environmental challenges it faces.
Alongside the film screening, Jamie will introduce an interactive digital map developed as part of the project, which visualises changing rainfall patterns and river levels to reveal the impacts of climate change on the river system.
At scheduled points throughout the day, participants will also be invited to take part in a short creative workshop and guided observational walk to the river. Together, these activities offer an opportunity to reflect on the White Cart Water not simply as a resource or landscape feature, but as a living presence within the community.
Throughout the residency, Jamie has explored themes including local species, invasive plants, environmental restoration, geopoetics and ecological observation, asking what it might take to restore our relationship with the river and better understand its place within both natural and human systems.
Whether you have a connection to the White Cart Water, an interest in environmental issues, or are curious about creative approaches to climate and ecology, this event offers a unique opportunity to engage with the river in new and meaningful ways.
