In October 2025, Aproxima began a major new chapter in its Glasgow Requiem programme with The Well - a project that reawakens the ancient 13th century well hidden within Glasgow Cathedral.

Once central to Glasgow’s foundation story, the well has lain dormant for centuries in the lower church. Long associated with healing, pilgrimage and renewal, it is now being reimagined as a contemporary wellspring - a source of connection, reflection and hope for the city and its communities.

In October 2025, the well was excavated for the first time in living memory offering the public a rare chance to witness archaeology in action and to explore the layers of history beneath one of Glasgow’s most sacred sites. 

In November, the Well was transformed by a new artwork created by Aproxima Creative Collective, with mosaicist Joanna Kessel.

To celebrate, a series of concerts took place in December at Glasgow Cathedral, showcasing new music by Karine Polwart, Claire M Singer and Cameron Sinclair with live narration by acclaimed actor Gary Lewis (Billy Elliot, Vigil), bringing to life the long-forgotten story of the well and the origins of the city.
