Islandness- A visual storytelling exhibition

This year's exhibition at Scotney focuses on the work of Kent based visual storyteller, Rebecca Douglas, translating nature's stories into compelling visual narratives through photography, video, drone speaking and writing.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

A new exhibition allowing you to explore the liminal space where earth, sea and sky meet displayed in the old castle, an island within an island nation.

With a strong environmental narrative, this exhibition considers the tension where the known gives way to the unknown, between isolation and connection, the flux between performance and change.
