Collective Home: Filmmaker Campaigner
Cove Park’s Collective Home programme is underway and we are pleased to share details of Filmmaker Campaigner, one of the first projects, involving Embedded Artist Carina NicHaouchin.
Focussed upon a community campaign to preserve Helensburgh’s waterfront, this project is being developed by local young people, working with Carina to share their concerns and ideas via film. We will share news of this project, and the wider Collective Home programme, in future news posts.
For more information, please get in touch with Collective Home Coordinator and Curator of Engagement, Emma Henderson.
Collective Home: Community, Creativity & Action in Argyll is one of the 23 Scotland-wide projects awarded funding through Culture Collective in 2026-2027.
Funded by the Scottish Government, Culture Collective places creativity at the heart of community development, supporting artists and organisations to work directly with communities, respond to local priorities, strengthen local identity and create paid opportunities for creative practitioners.
Focussed upon the concept of home and what this means now for communities in Argyll, our project reflects the distinct character and composition of our rural and coastal region. Through sustained projects devised collaboratively by the creative practitioners we support and the participating communities, we will explore what home means for young people in Argyll, for those facing the challenges of the climate crisis, and for those with lived experience of displacement and settling in this region. Developed in partnership with local organisations, our work will harness the power of creativity and collective action to build community, promote cultural exchange, and enhance lives.
