About Pride Flag Portraits: an exhibition by Eleanor Buffam

Listed Under Exhibitions Events / Arts and Crafts Events / LGBTQ+ Events

Eleanor Buffam is an interdisciplinary artist, writer, and muscian based in Leith, Edinburgh.

The exhibition is a series of portraits of people in the queer community, portrayed on the pride flag of their choice. These pride flag portraits grew out of conversations between friends about identity and connection. At the time, she was exploring large-scale cyanotypes, having received a VACMA award to allow her to purchase the materials to construct a large contact frame.

With the use of portraiture, she puts human faces on what could otherwise be regarded or dismissed (by some) as merely a symbol. These Pride Flag Portraits invite the viewer to engage on a human level with the queer community. In every portrait you see the vibrancy and diversity of the community.

Location: Kafe Kweer, 5 St. Peter’s Buildings, Edinburgh EH3 9PG
