Seedlings: Diasporic Imaginaries

Events

6 Jun 2025  

11am-5pm 

Collective, Calton Hill

Continuing Travelling Gallery’s 2025 programme is a group exhibition exploring ways to connect with our worlds through other-than-human perspectives. Challenging the boundaries between culture and nature, the exhibition looks to destabilise colonial systems, categories, and hierarchies, that tend to favour scientific theory and marginalise ancestral knowledges and indigenous cosmologies.

Curated with Jelena Sofronijevic, and featuring work by artists Emii Alrai, Iman Datoo, Remi Jabłecki, Radovan Kraguly, Zeljko Kujundzic, Leo Robinson, and Amba Sayal-Bennett, the exhibition brings together a variety of contemporary artistic practices, including drawing, printmaking, sculpture and film, that reimagine our collective understandings and visions of places and times.

Launching in Edinburgh at Collective on Friday 6 June 11am-5pm, the exhibition will tour until 14 August 2025.

The tour will visit venues in Lewis & Harris, North Lanarkshire, Glasgow, Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and culminates at the Edinburgh Art Festival. It is accompanied by a series of interventions on social media, highlighting the artists’ connections to the places of our tour, and a number of events including with artist Leo Robinson.
