Home: Ukrainian Photography, UK Words

As part of Edinburgh Art Festival 2024, Stills presents an exhibition of contemporary photography from Ukraine, featuring work by Igor Chekachkov, Alexander Chekmenev, Nazar Furyk, Mykhaylo Palinchak, Polina Polikarpova, Andriy Rachinskiy, Elena Subach and Daria Svertilova. Each photographer presents work that explores the meaning of home.

This exhibition is part of a touring programme partnership with Open Eye Gallery, Liverpool and Ukrainian.Photographies.

Stills is supported by Creative Scotland and City of Edinburgh Council. The tour is funded by Arts Council England. Organised by Open Eye Gallery and Ukrainian.Photographies. Tour partners: University of Salford, PhotoNorth Festival, Culture Coop, Stills, The Turnpike Gallery with Wigan Council, and UK Parliament.

We produce three major photography exhibitions each year and host a range of other displays. Entry is free and our gallery is open five days a week from 11am—5pm, and 11am-6pm during the month of August for the Edinburgh Art Festival.

Across our exhibition programme we have three key priorities: to present historic work from collections and archives; to bring internationally renowned photography to Scotland; and to showcase new work by artists based in Scotland, particularly those at an early stage of their careers.
