Scottish National Portrait Gallery
Roderick Buchanan: Legacy
14 July – 16 September 2012
Roderick Buchanan explores identity and politics through installations, film and photography. In Legacy, commissioned by the Imperial War Museum’s Art Commissions Committee, Buchanan explores the impact of the Troubles in Northern Ireland through the stories of two Scottish flute bands.
Buchanan has a long-standing interest and working relationship with Glasgow flute bands, and his unique access has generated a compelling work that gives equal and honest representation to both Loyalist and Republican communities.
In association with Imperial War Museums.
