About the Exhibition
Changing Lenses is an exhibition about migrant identity and belonging. It brought together 28 participants who moved to Glasgow from 25 countries. They used photography and creative writing to explore and express their experiences of integration and community. Their photographs and stories aim to foster a better public understanding of migrants’ experiences of integration. The focus is on finding a place for oneself in our city - something all Glaswegians can relate to, whether they grew up here or arrived later in life.
The photographs were first shown at Glasgow’s Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA). Now they are part of Putting Ourselves in the Picture exhibition at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, open until October 2025. After the exhibition, the photographs will remain in the collection of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum.
Changing Lenses workshops and exhibition were funded by the National Lottery Awards for All Fund. Putting Ourselves in the Picture is funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
