Join us for the Unbekent Residency Project, a series of talks and artist workshops held in the Make studio space, where you can observe the development of our research and art-making. This project is supported by Narture, an organization dedicated to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and promoting inclusion and community cohesion within Ayr. Narture is committed to using all surplus profits to make creative activities accessible to everyone.

Artists Stuart Murphy and Rebecca Scott will use the Make studio as the base for their Unbekent project for six weeks. The project focuses on working class and underclass history, persecuted individuals and lesser known Ayrshire history in general. All events are offered on a sliding-scale basis to make participation more accessible.

We will have several events throughout the project and these can be booked via Eventbrite. You can find out more information via the Narture website or by contacting [email protected]

This image depicts a dark wooden cabinet with a variety of unusual and intriguing objects displayed on its shelves. The title "CABINET of CURIOSITIES" is prominently shown to the left, along with the text "An exhibition of curious objects from the South Ayrshire collection." The cabinet contains objects such as a taxidermied bird, a wooden sculpture of a strange, open-mouthed creature, an old-fashioned deep-sea diving helmet, a painting of a sailing ship, and a small model ship. A single hanging lamp with a warm glow illuminates the scene. The overall tone is mysterious and vintage, evoking a sense of historical discovery.

The image shows a promotional poster for "The MacDonald Bros." The poster features a musician playing a violin, dressed in a red tartan vest, under dramatic stage lighting. The background includes a stylized Scottish flag (blue with a white diagonal cross) that blends into the scene. The text "the MacDonald bros" is displayed prominently in large, metallic silver lettering across the top, with the logo for "EHP Theatre" in the upper right corner. The poster likely advertises a musical performance, emphasizing the Scottish heritage of the performers.
