Uprooted Visions: Exhibition Preview Event
Edinburgh Printmakers invites you to join us on 1st April for the launch of our upcoming exhibition, Uprooted Visions.
About Uprooted Visions: Exhibition Preview Event
Uprooted Visions marks the culmination of the 2-year programme of Studio of Sanctuary residencies In from the Margins, led by Edinburgh Printmakers and funded by Creative Europe. This project is a collaboration with AGA LAB, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Cork Printmakers, Ireland, International Centre of Graphic Arts, Ljubljana, Slovenia; and Funen Printmaking Studio, Odense, Denmark.
Uprooted Visions is kindly sponsored by StayCity.
This exhibition features work from 30 international artists with lived experience of displacement and migration from around the world. Each artist was awarded a non-prescriptive month-long residency to provide space to experiment, explore and work with studio technicians to discover new techniques or develop current projects. Uprooted Visions presents a range of work created in print, textiles, video, sculpture and photography.
Uprooted Visions and the In from the Margins project have been made possible with the support of the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. Additional support provided by: City of Edinburgh Council, The National Lottery Heritage Fund through Creative Scotland, the Arts Council of Ireland, Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia and the Embassy of Slovenia in London.
This event is free admission, all welcome. We encourage booking online in advance. Availability on the evening will be dependent on capacity, refreshments will be served.
