Our project aims to celebrate the rich heritage, resilience, and ongoing revival of Springburn, a historic area in North Glasgow. Once the birthplace of the steam locomotive and the UK’s first motorcar, Springburn has faced significant challenges, including social decline, addiction, and economic neglect. Yet, the community's spirit endures, fueled by efforts to restore its pride and identity.

This initiative will engage residents and visitors through an immersive pop-up exhibition at the Springburn Community Hub, showcasing local history with archival photos, interactive videos, books, and artifacts. A dedicated cinema space will screen documentaries, including a feature on the town’s locomotive industry and its multicultural community. The event will highlight Springburn's contributions to Scotland's industrial and cultural heritage while emphasizing the community's resilience and a call for greater investment.

Together, we aim to honor Springburn’s past while building a resilient, inclusive future.
