Location: Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 1 Queen Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1JD
This exhibition features works of art created through five community outreach projects, which investigate the contemporary relevance of major transformations in Scottish history and identity. Artists have led local groups in four locations – Clydebank, Inverness, Dumfriesshire and Skye – to explore the impact of themes that define the national narrative.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a powerful new film by Daniel Warren, which reveals how today’s Scots feel about their ability to shape their own lives.

Diana Johnson: Have you now got an airline to send people to Rwanda or are you going to use the RAF?
Rishi Sunak: You wouldn't expect me to get into the detail
DJ: So you can't say if there's an airline or not.

Featuring data from the @IpsosUK/@britishfuture Immigration Attitudes tracker as discussed this week with @keiranpedley & @sundersays on our exclusive Politics Talk podcast👇
The @Telegraph reports on new @britishfuture research.
People are unhappy for different reasons: for Conservatives it's small boats & high numbers. For Labour supporters, ‘Creating a negative or fearful environment for migrants’ (42%) is as important as channel crossings (41%)
The paradox of immigration preferences in a nutshell -Majority of Conservative voters support large cuts to immigration, but most also oppose cutting the specific migrant groups who drive current inflows - in fact they want *more* migration from these groups
Does the UK public *really* want to cut immigration of people coming here to work?
@britishfuture immigration attitudes tracker suggests not...
Our @sundersays is talking to @BBCWales at 8.30 and @BBCNews at 10.30 about the new @britishfuture @IpsosUK Immigration Attitudes Tracker research published today https://www.britishfuture.org/new-attitudes-tracker-2024/
None of the political parties are well trusted on immigration: Labour comes out top across GB (trusted by 33%) & the SNP in Scotland. The Conservative Party is trusted by 22% of the public on immigration.
Reform UK is trusted by 26% on immigration, 3 points above the Lib Dems.
People don't know what migration they would cut. Nearly half of 2023 work visas were for health & care work, yet people want more of that migration not less.
Only around a quarter of the public would reduce migration for agriculture, construction, lorry drivers and hospitality
