‘Coming Home’ Lead Artist / Mobile Museum Design & Build
‘COMING HOME is a travelling exhibition and events programme developed by High Life Highland (HLH) to commemorate the end of the First World War in the Highlands. At the heart of the project are poignant individual experiences explored through the documents, objects and photographs held in High Life Highland museums and archives and partner independent museums. These individual stories reflect the wider social and economic changes in the Highlands at the time.’
