About Where I Am

Where I Am is a generative tour, which explores a deep history of artists’ moving image in Scotland over the past 100 years.

Taking its title from Margaret Tait’s experimental film work Where I Am Is Here (1964), this project showcases the rich tradition of artists’ filmmaking in Scotland, and begins a conversation with audiences, venues and artists about what might constitute a distinctly Scottish tradition in both a national and international context.

This spring and summer, each of our six host venues will adapt the programme in response to their own context, by adding a work that they commissioned or is particularly resonant to their area; organising a live event that roots the discussion in their region; or developing a series of talks and readings with their local audiences.

As the project progresses, the tour will change and expand beyond the original programme.
