SUMMARY:White Ground\, Black Water
DESCRIPTION:Curated by Dr Cat Dunn\nWith Alberta Whittle\, Graham Fagen\, Matthew Arthur Williams\, and Tilda Williams Kelly\nOpening: 1st August 2026 \nWhite Ground\, Black Water is a research-led exhibition curated by Dr Cat Dunn\, examining Scotland’s role in Empire\, specifically its deep-rooted but often overlooked entanglements with the Caribbean\, and the complex legacies of displacement\, racial capitalism\, and historical erasure that continue to shape both places today. \nScotland’s extensive participation in the transatlantic slave economy and the management of Caribbean colonies has been marginalised within mainstream historical discourse. Wealth generated from sugar plantations\, enslavement\, and colonial administration flowed back into Scottish society\, funding universities\, landholdings\, and cultural institutions. \nOpening in August 2026\, the exhibition will feature work by Alberta Whittle\, Graham Fagen\, Matthew Arthur Williams\, and Tilda Williams Kelly. Working across video\, performance\, installation\, photography\, and sculpture\, the artists offer ways of seeing that disrupt official histories and invite more nuanced\, embodied understandings of place and power. \nPROGRAMME OF EVENTS\nThe exhibition is accompanied by a public programme curated by Dr Cat Dunn\, beginning with an anchor event designed to ground the research locally\, centre community dialogue\, and build critical context ahead of the exhibition opening. These events mark the start of a longer process of collective enquiry.

SUMMARY:Auchies Spikkin’ Auchie - Grace Skinner
DESCRIPTION:Auchies Spikkin’ Auchieis an innovative\, moving and beautiful celebration of the unique language\, stories and fishing heritage of Avoch on the Black Isle. \nClàrsach player\, composer and ethnologist Grace Stewart-Skinner intertwines field recordings of Avoch locals speaking the village’s distinctive Avochie dialect with her own original compositions\, creating what she describes as an“ethnomusicological postcard”of her home village \nThe project began when Grace rediscovered an old recording of her grandfather reciting his own poetry in Avochie. Finding little trace of the dialect preserved in archives\, she began recording local people herself — capturing their voices\, stories and a language closely connected to generations of Avoch’s fishing community \nFor the live performance\, Grace is joined by Rose Logan on fiddle\, Rhona MacDonald on double bass and Ewa Adamiec on drums/percussion\, with film of the Avoch landscape by Michiel Turner accompanying the music. \nThe resulting performance brings together music\, spoken word\, archive and film\, celebrating a remarkable piece of Highland cultural heritage while exploring what can be lost as communities\, industries and languages change. \nThe album has received considerable recognition: it was shortlisted for the Sound Roots Folk Album of the Year Award\, shortlisted for Community Project of the Year at the Scots Language Awards\, and won Innovative Project of the Year at the FATEA Magazine Awards.
