Tuesday 5 July – Saturday 6 August 2016, Community Gallery and Room to Discover
Moving Minds is an exhibition created from an anthology of
work composed by Gypsy/Travellers across Scotland. In an open, honest and often humorous way, this exhibition shares their memories, poetry and photographs and reflects on the impact prejudice can have upon wellbeing.
“Moving Minds is the perfect antidote to My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding: full of memories, stories and images from several lifetimes on the road…The stories piece together a difficult but vibrant culture too few understand or respect. Moving Minds does what it says on the tin.” Lesley Riddoch, Journalist and broadcaster
The exhibition has been facilitated by MECOPP, Scotland’s leading Black and Minority Ethnic carers organisation. Over the last ten years the organisation has developed extensive knowledge of the interaction between race equality, health and social care. MECOPP’s vision is of a society where ‘helping’ agencies are able to respond both effectively and appropriately to a diverse range of n
eeds.
Moving Minds will be enhanced by the display of a selection of items of Traveller heritage from IMAG’s own collections.
The exhibition is being shown in two locations, the Community Gallery and Room to Discover. Room to Discover is sometimes used for other activities. Please call 01463 237114 before making a special visit to this exhibition.
