Venue Description

Previously used as the site of Tam Joseph’s Hand Made Map of the World for Edinburgh Art Festival 2014, Calton Road Billboards will host a new triptych of photographic work by Francis Dosoo in collaboration with photographer Kamilya Kuspanova, accompanied by text titled, What is behind the Saint’s eyes, when they look through tears to the altar. Dosoo’s work is as part of this year’s Associate Artist Programme What happens to desire… curated by Tako Taal, which examines the psychic structures of colonial relations, and the question of how vividly they remain in the present.

Further down the street you can see artist Graham Fagen’s permanent light installation artwork, ‘A Drama in Time’, commissioned in 2016. Both works are viewable from the street and are wheelchair accessible.

Booking is not required.
