Meadows and Corner Galleries, Summerhall
Reaching across vast and vivid boundaries Scotland based artist MICHELE MARCOUX and Pakistan based artist FARRUKH ADDNAN collaborate to address urgent and evocative themes of exile and displacement. Separated by the geographical constraints of a global pandemic, Farrukh and Michele met regularly via Zoom to develop Ecologies of Displacement. Though different in form, each artist’s work reflects a mutual search for connections through dreams, memories and symbolic representation in the midst of a disjointed world.
Conceived by Pakistani-Scottish filmmaker Sana Bilgrami Ecologies of Displacement is the outcome of an international residency hosted by Koel Gallery in Karachi and Summerhall in Edinburgh and was supported through a British Council/Creative Scotland ‘Connect and Collaborate’ grant.
In January Michele travelled to Pakistan where she and Farrukh exhibited Ecologies of Displacement at Koel Gallery This month we will welcome Farrukh to Scotland for the exhibition at Summerhall.
