who will be remembered here is a tender film which draws intimate connections between queer people across the span of Scottish history.

Hetherington and Mahony invited four queer writers to respond to Historic Environment Scotland sites, creating performances exploring the resonances and dissonances between who they are and the sites they visited.

Each writer responds in a different language: Robert Softley Gale in English, Harry Josephine Giles in Scots, Robbie MacLeòid in Gaelic, and Bea Webster in BSL. The film brings to life experiences that have been rendered invisible by the erasure of marginalised people from history.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an exhibition of images by Tiu Makkonen in the EAF Pavilion event space, sharing behind the scenes footage through the making of who will be remembered here.

! Acknowledges how queer and Disabled people have been excluded from historic spaces, and how to foster inclusion.
