Developed by Future Arts Centres and Open Eye Gallery, the touring photography exhibition brings together images drawn from 60 locally-led projects.
Communities of all ages and backgrounds considered what freedom meant in their place in 1945, and what it means now. To capture these stories, 22 photographers were commissioned through Open Eye Gallery, as part of their national role in the Socially Engaged Photography Network, to closely follow each project.
The resulting exhibition offers a powerful visual record of the people involved – from schoolchildren and veterans to artists and participants aged 0–100 – reflecting the diversity and creativity at the heart of the programme.
Scottish photographers Alicia Bruce and Anneleen Lindsay collaborated with Scottish venues as part of this nationwide project, including An Tobar (Mull), Clydebank Library, Cromary Cinema, Eden Court (Inverness), Mckechnie Institute and North Lanarkshire Libraries, Western Isles Libraries.
