**JUPITER+NATION DUMFRIES** Growing Pains is a site-specific installation by artist Lindsey Mendick set in an abandoned estate agent's office. Referencing her teenage years, Mendick has transformed the space into a haunting, immersive experience that explores the uncertainty, awkwardness, and societal expectations surrounding adolescence. Assembled on a spiralling desk that references the often cruel loop of teenagehood, Growing Pains features Alice-in-Wonderland-style ceramic dolls' houses that burst open, with teenage figures erupting from within. The work captures the surreal pressures that emerge at the threshold of adulthood, underlining the tension between a yearning for parental acceptance and the simultaneous urge to reject it. Jupiter+Nation is an ambitious off-site programme by Jupiter Artland that brings world class art to high streets across Scotland. Content warning: The supporting documentary film contains strong language, references to suicide, bullying and negative body image that some viewers might find difficult. Young people must be accompanied.

As part of this year’s Wild Goose Festival you can join us for three risograph workshops at the Print House exploring storytelling and environmental activism. Our environments are full of stories waiting to be heard. By discussing, imagining, and making together we can listen to what the living world is asking of us during the current mass extinction.

**ScreeningReel to Reel: Wheel to the Wedding** In the Summer of 2025, two friends decided to commit to the adventure of a lifetime and travel overland from London to Istanbul to avoid flying; a journey of joy, challenge and spontaneity. A wedding to make, five weeks to get there (and back!), minimal preparation, many good strangers met and a lot of stories along the way. Something like this would be a journey and a half for any pair of vagabonds, but throw in to the mix zero bike-packing experience, a high level spinal chord injury and all the added complications of a broke-neck-body while trying to navigate inaccessible infrastructure across 11 countries, and you have a recipe for both magic and madness. Reel to Real Cinema is a monthly film space in the Stove Café, featuring an eclectic mixture of conversational films – from artist made shorts to feature length documentaries, locally made to international cinema. A space for discussion and thought-provoking films, you are welcome to join us after the film for a short discussion about the themes from this month’s selection.

Pop-in and help recycle donated bikes. Once bikes are assessed they are either repaired or stripped down for parts and scrap metal. Monday night sessions give you the opportunity to either take on a repair project or help keep the workshop stocked with useable spare parts. Either way you'll be giving new life to old bikes or reducing the amount of just that goes to waste.
