Syn Festival

I was glad to be invited to the 6th edition of the Syn Festival. As part of the exhibition Utopias I presented Big Hits (Wars And Songs Commencing From The Year I Was Born), a video reasoning on society’s perception of war, and I gave a talk on my research about geographical maps.

Utopias:

Eighteen contemporary artists who live and work in Scotland explore concepts of “utopia”. Taking as a starting point Thomas More’s ground-breaking book, first published in 1516, the artists present their own responses on utopian thought in the context of contemporary politics.

Invited artists: Alessandro Di Massimo, Rhona Taylor, Calum Thom and Olivia Turner. Selected artists: Anna Berrino, Rachael Bibby, Andy Cumming, Michael Dawson, Sally Mairs, Nikkita Morgan, Callum Russell, StAm, Marissa Stoffer, Rhona Sword, Michael Kay Terence, Jamie Watt, Matthew Wilson and Ana Yarza.

22 March – 4 April 2019
Syn Festival, Summerhall Edinburgh.
