Circa 1930

In her poem ‘Circa 1930,’ Maud Sulter wrote that ‘the cultures of Ghana and Scotland / are not as disparate as they might / at first seem. Clan-based societies / with long memories and global diasporas.’ Throughout her work, Sulter, of Scotish and Ghanaian descent, made visible the connections between Europe and the African diaspora. She worked across photography, film, installation, poetry, and soundscapes, often using her own body and voice/accent/oral traditions within her output.

In partnership with National Trust for Scotland, this exhibition uniquely brings together her work across different medium, making public rarely seen photographic works and film to explore these themes.
