Kilbryde Hospice café to display Migrant Voice art exhibition
Kilbryde Hospice is hosting an immersive art installation celebrating the voices and experiences of migrants in Scotland.
Running from August 1 to September 5, visitors to Kilbryde Hospice's café in East Kilbride are invited to experience 'Ye Awright, Pal?' - a free powerful and thought-provoking exhibition of original artwork created by over 100 migrants living in and around Glasgow.
The exhibition is delivered in partnership with Migrant Voice, a national, migrant-led organisation, and forms part of their Putting Ourselves in the Picture heritage project, made possible by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
The collection explores personal journeys of migration - stories of moving, settling, connecting with local communities, cultural adaptation, and personal identity.
From moments of hope and gratitude to the challenges of integration, the drawings express a rich tapestry of lived experience.
The exhibition is part of Kilbryde's continued commitment to Creative Arts in health and wellbeing.
Anna Ludwig, creative arts lead at Kilbryde Hospice, said: 'This is such an exciting opportunity to welcome people to the hospice to engage with and contribute to this fantastic art installation.
"We hope people who might not normally visit our café will take this opportunity to pop in for a refreshment whilst taking in the exhibition.'
This exhibition is part of Kilbryde Hospice's ongoing Creative Arts programme, which supports health and wellbeing through artistic expression and inclusive community storytelling.
The programme is generously supported by the Scottish Government's Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund.
Thanks go to Marzanna Antoniak, Migrant Voice Glasgow network co-ordinator, for helping bring the exhibition to Kilbryde.
Migrant Voice is a national organisation that empowers migrants to speak for themselves, influence policy, and create a fairer society for all.
Through storytelling, campaigning, and community media, they help shape more inclusive public narratives around migration.

NHS Lanarkshire's chief executive visits Kilbryde Hospice
Louise Long reaffirmed the health board's commitment to partnership working. NHS Lanarkshire's chief executive visited Kilbryde Hospice to meet with staff and to reaffirm the health board's commitment to working in partnership to provide the highest standard of equitable palliative and end-of-life care. Since the earliest days of the South Lanarkshire-based hospice, NHS Lanarkshire and Kilbryde Hospice have worked closely together to support people living with life-limiting illness and their families. That partnership continues to go from strength to strength, with a shared focus on compassionate, person-centred care. During the visit, Louise Long heard about the hospice's vital role in delivering specialist palliative care - in the inpatient unit, through day services, and in supporting the wellbeing of patients and families at home. The visit also recognised the essential contribution of the hospice's highly-trained staff and dedicated volunteers. Long said: 'Palliative and end-of-life care is about much more than medical treatment. It's about dignity, compassion and supporting people and their families through some of the most difficult times in their lives. I'm hugely grateful to everyone at Kilbryde Hospice for the difference they make every day, and I look forward to continuing our close working relationship as we strengthen palliative care services across Lanarkshire.' Gordon McHugh, chief executive officer of Kilbryde Hospice, said: 'We were delighted to welcome Louise Long to Kilbryde Hospice. Our partnership with NHS Lanarkshire is vital in ensuring that people receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time – and that their individual needs are met with the utmost care and compassion. 'We are excited about the work we are doing together to develop sustainable services for the future in the genuine spirit of partnership.'
