Travelling Gallery’ s Season 3 exhibition presents artwork by artist and filmmaker Helen McCrorie that brings together work created with the residents of Strathearn, in Perthshire, as part of the Scotland-wide Remembering Together project, that aimed to bring ‘collective acts of reflection, remembrance, hope and healing to communities across Scotland’ in the years following the Covid pandemic.

Repair Cafe centres around Helen’s new community film, in 16mm, titled Strathearn-Remembering Together, that captures recollections of the pandemic from local residents of all ages. Exhibited alongside the film are a number of additional works that reveal some of the processes and thinking behind the making of the film.

Helen has also collaborated with Glasgow-based illustrator Annabel Wright to produce a number of drawing works that illustrate and bring to light some of the personal stories that were shared during the project; some sad, scary or poignant, some hopeful, funny or surreal, the work expanding further upon the spectrum of insights and experiences from this time.
