Join (un)Trodden Paths Connecting Threads artists in residence Coleman and Hodges as they create Laden, an exhibition exploring the fugitive elements carried by the River Tweed on its journey from the hills to the sea.

The river collects and reflects all the environments and ecologies it passes through: wild, tame, natural and human-made. By the time the mighty Tweed reaches the coast, it carries abundant amounts of materials within its waters. Geological fragments, minerals, pollen, spores, leaves and fragments of human life: all trace elements of its riverine journey, forming an ever-changing library of the river's life to be stored in the rich mud of the Berwick estuary.

Artists Jo Hodges and Robbie Coleman invite you to delve into the stories of the river’s journey and help in the creation of a new evolving exhibition.
