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.
