What Do We Learn From All Th1s? Exhibition

(POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS – UPDATE DUE MID-2021)

Poppyscotland is now the proud custodian of the ‘What Do We Learn From All Th1s?’ Exhibition.

Originally commissioned by the Scottish Government and delivered by research and design collective Lateral North, the exhibition brings together traditional print making techniques combined with innovative technology as well as unique artworks created by 100 young people from across Scotland aged 14 years upwards. These young artists were brought together for this project and facilitated by the Scottish Print Networks in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.

The major part of the exhibition is a visual interpretation of 100 stories of people and events of WWI. The matrices that were used to develop each of the artists’ 100 unique prints are displayed on wooden plinths or blocks arranged into a map of Scotland. In addition to this visual treat, augmented reality technology then enables visitors to explore each of the stories behind the pictures in detail with an iPad.

From individual acts of valour on the battlefield to naval tragedies off Scotland’s coast, from the thousands of workers filling factories at home to the brave members of the Scottish Women’s Hospitals at the Western Front, from innovations in areas such as surgery and aviation to the enduring work of poets and artists in the trenches, the project takes in a wide range of stories and subjects that will resonate throughout Scotland.

Poppyscotland will be the custodian of the exhibition supporting its travels as it shares the stories of this unique map across venues in Scotland. Following its installation at the Scottish Parliament, the first stop of the tour for the What Do We Learn From All Th1s? exhibition was at the Black Watch Museum in Perth from 23 September-25 October 2019 and at the Grain Exchange in South Ayrshire from 6th – 23rd January 2020.

(EXHIBITION IS CURRENTLY POSTPONED DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS NATIONALLY).
