The Remembering Community Poem – Between the Present and the Past, Our Pens Sit
Created through shared words, memories and reflections from local voices, The Remembering Community Poem – Between the Present and the Past, Our Pens Sit celebrates the heart of Avich & Kilchrenan — its people, creativity, and deep connection to place. Over 30 people took part in this wonderful collective effort — from writing and voicing our words, to filming and adding sound — a true testament to the spirit of community.
Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone involved. This project is a beautiful example of the kind of creativity and collaboration that will be at the heart of Kilchrenan Kirk’s transformation into a Heritage + Culture Centre, where local stories, art and heritage will continue to come alive.
