Flight – Frank McElhinney

Launch Event: Friday 4th August – 6.30pm

Flight is a solo exhibition by artist Frank McElhinney that reflects upon the long history of migration between Ireland and Scotland, with a particular focus on the effects of the Great Famine during the mid-nineteenth century. The exhibition was first shown at Street Level Photoworks in 2022.

The exhibition investigates contemporary issues through a historical lens to address issues around conflict, migration, and nationhood and asks us to consider our own history so that we can better understand the response required to meet the contemporary challenges of mass migration.

This exhibition is part of an ongoing partnership between Street Level Photoworks (Glasgow) and The Rockfield Centre (Oban).
