Lomography in Leith

A brand new exhibition has opened at the Wee Museum of Memory in Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre, Leith. Based on a collaboration between Dr Huw Halstead, Lecturer in Public History, in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology (HCA) and Professor Carl Smith a Visiting Scholar from the University of Arkansas, ten HCA-affiliated students were asked, “What is Leith? Not what it looks like, but how it feel? What does it mean to the people who walk its streets?" using “Lomography”, an analogue photography movement that treats imperfection as a virtue rather than a disadvantage and sees photography as part of everyday life.

The exhibition, and Museum, is free to visit.

‘Because…’ - student exhibition "Lomography in Leith"

You can find out more about the project on the HCA website.
