17 Mar-22 Mar 2026

Overview

Artists: Fergus Carmichael, Olivia Priya Foster, Onyeka Igwe, Rachel McBrinn & Alison Scott, Helen McCrorie, Kadeem Oak & Jonn Gale, Hanna Tuulikki

An exhibition of artists’ moving image works that are concerned with where humans meet the natural environment – how we manage it, commune with it, play in it, map and record it, mould it to our shape and use, both historically and now; and in turn how it can engulf us, and haunt us. As much as they speak of the damage we have done to the land, and the ways we have sought to possess it, the selected films are also about the communities that respect and care for it, telling hopeful stories about our future relationship with our planet.

The selection includes recent work by Scottish artists alongside that of artists from elsewhere in the UK.  In this new selection, each film is seen in the context of the others, drawing out connections between them through the lens of care, kinship and community.
