At the heart of the exhibition is The Necessity of Seeing, a series of vibrant, surreal images by Aïda Muluneh that transform urban and historic sites in Bradford, Belfast, Cardiff, and Glasgow into symbolic stages for exploring race, history, and identity. These works are paired with A Portrait of Us, a set of intimate black-and-white photographs celebrating local “unsung heroes” — people whose everyday contributions strengthen their communities. In the Glasgow edition, new works by Miriam Ali focus on grassroots activism, portraying individuals whose efforts drive social change, while Haneen Hadiy reimagines Scottish landscapes through Islamic visual traditions, creating a cross-cultural dialogue between place and identity. The exhibition’s combination of internationally acclaimed artistry and fresh, local perspectives offers audiences a rich, multifaceted reflection on what unites — and diversifies — the UK today.
