2024

Overview

The Other is an extraordinary hour of music and images from a pool of eight musicians and a visual artist, some whom have an experience of forced displacement and migration, from Scotland, Chile, Iran, Brazil, Syria and Yemen.

‘A sonic smorgasbord of a different style’ (The Scotsman), they share the music, life stories and experiences of their different cultures that reflect the diversity of the communities now living in Scotland.

A vibrant and moving multimedia experience of music and visual art.

“They are a microcosm of how the world could be – connected, sharing, bringing light and love through diversity.”
– Lethem Nights
