HOTT: A Sense of Identity
It has taken HOTT almost two years but at long last our Sense of Identity will be shared in June. Many
generous people from the Travelling community opened their hearts and their homes to share their story with us.
Initially we had planned to present this to schools and universities and of course that is still our aim. However the
depth of honesty and cultural stories are so unique we decided to share with everyone. The recordings were over
8 hours long but it is impossible to put every word (wish we could) into an hour long DVD so we've condensed,
leaving special gems.
Our exhibition is all about the culture and we, HOTT (Heart of the Travellers) would be so pleased if you could
visit at the Scottish Storytelling Centre and take a look. I know I speak for all the wonderful people involved when I
say, "you are most welcome."
