The Book of the Pageant of Ayr

An artwork in the form of a book which presents a pageant made up of 595 histories given by three hundred people we met in Ayr, in shopping centres, bars, the library, schools, churches, a sports centre, local clubs and elsewhere. Inspired by the 'Pageant of Ayr' held in 1934 which was a national event held at Dam Park Stadium that involved huge numbers of local people in its making. The final performance had - “2000 performers, including 200 dancers, 60 horsemen and a choir”. 

Part of the dissemination of the book involved revisiting the locations featured. Now available on request and in the local history section of Carnegie Library.
