In Love With Moss by Anna Raven
FIVE artists from different backgrounds have used lockdown to create a unique, interactive multimedia exhibition.
Watercolour Music – Mary Ann Kennedy and Nick Turner – set about creating a project to connect artists from their own world to turn lockdown into good. They were joined by Irish poet Padraig O Tuama, photographer Alex Boyd, and visual artist Anna Raven. The result is Highland Whispers, which is launched online and in the real world on Monday at An Talla Solais gallery in Ullapool.
Co-curator Toria Caine, said: “I believe Highland Whispers is setting the standard for a new hybrid way of working that will give us the best of both worlds.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
