The culmination of Robbie Coleman and Jo Hodges’ Middle Tweed artist residency coincides with the turning of the seasons, as the Celtic festival of Samhain marks the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter. Taking place at Abbotsford, the home of Sir Walter Scott, the event begins with a magical walk along the river to a gathering full of fire and light among the magisterial yew groves. The event brings together elements that the artists have been exploring by, with and within the River Tweed throughout the summer. This extended body of participatory art and research culminates in encounters with a kaleidoscopic fusion of colour, bees, bugs, flowers, micro-worlds, ritual and reflection. The immersive installation and soundscape features ideas and images created by participants as they have untrodden the paths by the River Tweed in the company of the artists. Please arrive at Abbotsford car park in time to walk to the Visitor Centre by 6.30pm. We will all be leaving as group. The walk will be stewarded. What to expect A 20-minute night-time walk by the river with artist-designed torches. A large-scale audiovisual installation to explore. A fire to gather round for warmth and connection.
