The National Galleries of Scotland and National Library of Scotland are delighted to present a selection of responses to the Preserving Pasts, Imagining Futures project.
In the run-up to and during the 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference, Glasgow, 31 October – 12 November 2021 (COP26), the organisations invited visitors to respond creatively to works from the national collections to visualise how Scotland has been and will continue to be impacted by the climate and ecological emergency, unless decisive action is taken.
The views expressed in the submissions and their descriptions are those of the artists and writers, and do not necessarily reflect the policies and views of the National Galleries of Scotland and National Library of Scotland.
