From artist Moira Salt, this exhibition accompanies her film What the Water Remembers – The Dark Mirror, premiering at HippFest accompanied by a live score by Tommy Perman and Andrew Wasylyk.

The Dark Mirror is part of the wider project: What the Water Remembers, taking place in Birmingham and Falkirk and gathering perspectives on Canals. These often-overlooked but surprisingly rich sites carry stories of industry, migration, anti-capitalism and rewilding.

Moira Salt, together with local participants in the Falkirk District, took to the canals with writing, drawing, sound recording and photography to delve into the untold stories of those who built and used them, exploring the displacement caused by their construction and the eco-human relationships shaped by these waterways.

See this work on display and learn more about the making of the film and the wealth of research uncovered by Moira Salt and local communities at the exhibition at Bo’ness Library, 14th February – 20th April.
