You may have heard of Up Helly Aa, Shetland’s viking fire festival. What you might not know is that for decades, people have campaigned to allow women and girls to be participate in the main festival. This year, for the first time, women and girls participated. Just wonderful.

Busy afternoon in sweltering Scottish sunshine creating designs for a container mural and signs to decorate a growing space.

Lovely and productive end to a few day’s travelling about chatting art, place and big ideas. 🌱

[Steve Colmer @steve_colmer]

It has been great for us at @lateralnorth to work alongside artist Tanatsei Gambura to help bring her "Nzira Yeparuware - A Path Upon A Rock" to life at @edinburghcastle

The project is part of the Managing Imperial Legacies programme with @HistEnvScot & @EdinburghUni

@KatieJoAnd @lateralnorth @islaygaelic Yes! It's still very much Scottish Gaelic but has more Irish influences than the Gaelic I use :)

[Freya Macleod @freyaspatial]

Great time in Islay / tìde air leth ann an Ìle le @lateralnorth & @islaygaelic a’ faighinn eòlach air pròiseact ùr

Gun robh math agaibh 😋 (even learned some Islay Gaelic!)

[Freya Macleod @freyaspatial]

@gmcm_work Sin thu fhèin, Gareth! Check out SpeakGaelic episodes and LearnGaelic the website- they even have an Instagram account and make short videos. 🌎 😊

[Freya Macleod @freyaspatial]

@V_Maxwell @VADundee @kirstoir @NtlMuseumsScot Best of luck Mhairi! congrats on everything you achieved at V&A Dundee ⭐️🌼

[H&I Voices @HI_Voices]

Gaelic speakers have been told for centuries to be ashamed of their language for having no place in the world today. To paraphrase the Mealabost Bàrd, that stops here. No longer should we be abashed to use a language that is consistently beset on all sides by dominant powers.

[Freya Macleod @freyaspatial]

Here’s a spatial snapshot of my time in a lovely studio.
