About the Exhibition
Outside In is a migrant-led photography exhibition about how people from all around the world influence Scotland. It tells the stories of those who are here because of love, ancestry, work, education, war, persecution, and for many other reasons. Some chose to move here, but others found themselves in Scotland due to events beyond their control. There are also the descendants of people who came here because of the Scottish role in global history, including colonisation.
People from all backgrounds have become our neighbours, colleagues, mentors, friends, or family members. Their traditions, ideas, and professional expertise make Scotland more vibrant, sustainable, healthier, and fairer for all.
Alongside the photographs, you will find mini-notes about Scottish links with other countries and about migrant communities in Scotland. This exhibition only shows some of them, and we are hoping to expand this collection by adding insights from our exhibition visitors.
Outside In is part of the Putting Ourselves in the Picture project by Migrant Voice, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.
