Dotted throughout Kelvingrove Park are plaques, statues and monuments commemorating various people and historical events, but since its creation in the mid-nineteenth century the park has witnessed numerous other happenings, the signs of which are largely invisible today. This critical heritage walk takes its cue from the fact that much of Glasgow’s urban fabric reflects the city’s deep involvement in colonial and imperial networks that were economic, social and cultural in nature. By slow walking and close looking we can engage with the civic spaces that surround us, examining the stories that are preserved and presented to us, as well as seeing and acknowledging those that aren’t.
