Aghaidh Ris An Achadh – Facing The Field

Taigh Chearsabhagh in Lochmaddy has given both of its galleries this winter to Aghaidh Ris An Achadh, Facing The Field, a show about what happens to a township when the people leave. Fraser MacBeath, an audiovisual artist and field recordist from Lewis, has built it from salvaged building materials, fragments of community archive film and recordings made in the islands, with sound that moves around you as you walk through. It is about memory and change in the Outer Hebrides, and it rewards a slow visit. Entry is free, Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, until 24 December, and there is a café in the building.
