The four judges for this year’s competition, award winning photographers who work globally and live in Dumfries & Galloway, are very much looking forward to seeing different and personal perspectives from each young person “Have fun, try things out, make images that show your own personal way of seeing 'home' by the way you tell your story."

talking to and

“The in-person talk at Tidespace revealed the contrasts and parallels between these four individual exhibiting photographers. All live here in Dumfries and Galloway and have built extraordinary bodies of often radically exploratory global work. They have each chosen to work collaboratively in the last 5+ years. With very different approaches and methods, all four choose, whenever possible, to place their focus on their immediate environment, exploring and enhancing landscape, culture and community, and in doing so, all four are creating a real influence and legacy for this area of Scotland." Tidespace curator

COAST LIGHT
Sunday 3rd September 7:30 pm

Bella Bathurst, Author & Photojournalist, and Tidespace Writer-in-Residence will be in conversation about her book 'The Lighthouse Stevensons'. Described by The Times as ‘One of the best biographers of her generation’, Bella Bathurst’s definitive book, was the first of many. Her most recent, the brilliant ‘Field Works’ featured as part of Tidespaces LAND series.

Robert Louis Stevenson may have been the most famous of the Stevensons but he was by no means the most productive. The Lighthouse Stevensons, all four generations of them, were devoted to the seemingly impossible task of lighting the dark and dangerous seas around Scotland. Immediately after the incredible feat of completing his first lighthouse at Bell Rock, Robert Stevenson created the nearby lighthouse at the Mull of Galloway. Little Ross Lighthouse in Kirkcudbright Bay was built by his son Alan, which was lit 180 years ago this year.

After the Talk; included in the £8 ticket price, Author Book Signing, and a glass of wine

TIDESPACE IS SO SORRY THIS TALK HAD TO BE POSTPONED -
WATCH THIS SPACE FOR A RESCHEDULED DATE!!!

TIDESPACE will be talking to FARMER AUTHORS David & Wilma Finlay together with Jamie Blackett all from Dumfries & Galloway.

We will be discussing what, as famers, farming represents for their generation, their respective experiences and perspectives, what they see for the future of farming, and what leads them to farm and to write.

Very excited that BELLA BATHURST will be here to talk to TIDESPACE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT at 6pm about her latest book 'FIELD WORKS: What Land Does to People and What People Do to Land', there are a few tickets left so book quick! Book tickets via www.tidespace.uk

70 percent of land in the UK is farmland. In her book 'FIELD WORKS' BELLA BATHURST delves deeply and broadly into what is entailed to farm. Bearing witness to the choices and challenges of two generations of farmers living on the same farm as them in Wales, her broadranging interviews give rural voices to those who are rarely heard and therefore understood. These are the people whose daily lives, frequently for generations, are defined by and define the human food chain, and who in turn define the living landscape. Accumulatively Bella reveals the sheer complexities and impact of the landscape of modern farming: familial, social, political, economic, and environmental.
