Beyond the Games - Dalmarnock 10 Years On

It’s been 17 years since I began documenting Dalmarnock, and 2024 marks a decade since the Games came to Glasgow, promising a legacy for the East End and the city.
Beyond the Games is a community engagement project culminating in a multimedia exhibition in Dalmarnock, exactly ten years after the Games. Starting in January 2024, I returned to the area to revisit the people and places I had encountered from 2007 onwards, as well as some of the new residents.
I wanted to ask them about ‘the legacy’ that branded buzzword every Glaswegian heard so much about before the Games. I aimed to find out from the residents what had changed, what worked, what didn’t, and what the future might hold.
