Windows Through the Seasons is a participatory artwork project shaped through shared reflection, creativity and connection. Local people were invited to offer thoughts, images, memories and sensory impressions connected to the seasons, contributing to a collective body of material gathered during a community event on 17th January 2026.
The project was conceived and led by me in response to a commission from Chorlton Civic Society and the Green Chorlton Hub. The contributions shared on the day will inform four final panels, created in a collage style on canvas and later reproduced onto weatherproof clear acrylic. The finished pieces will be displayed in a wooden frame at four points across the year in the community garden next to Chorlton Library, starting with Spring, revealed on Saturday 21st March at 11.30am, and then changing with each season.
Read on to see how this day of participatory creativity and connection took shape, with the wonderful ideas, energy and support of Stories of Our Lives and other key partners.
