For our September event we are VERY EXCITED to visit Wendy McMurdo at her studio in Edinburgh. Wendy is currently exhibiting at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery (The Digital Mirror) and this is a great opportunity to get some insight in to her creative practice, and learn about the process leading up to this exhibition.

Please note: this event is for AGITATE Mixer, Maker and Hero members only and has a very limited capacity. Booking is essential.

About The Artist //

Wendy McMurdo was born in Edinburgh where she initially trained as a painter. She left the UK in the mid 1980s for the Pratt Institute, New York. While studying there, she turned to photography and on returning to the UK, began to work for the first time with this medium. After completing an MA at Goldsmiths College, London, she was awarded a two-year fellowship by The Henry Moore Foundation. These two years were to prove critical in her development and in 1993 she produced her first major solo exhibition In a Shaded Place. Working for the first time with the computer, she produced a series that explored the intersection between autographic photography and the digital image.

This event is a part of a Season of Photography 2026 -  a celebration of photography in Scotland running from 1 September – 20 December 2026
