The Mound
Tue 28 Jul · 18:00
This is the online streamed version of the live event. Ticketholders will be sent a joining link before the event to either watch live or view the recording later. World renowned photographer Thomas Joshua Cooper and writer Catherine Mooney will discuss with contributor and Director General of the National Galleries of Scotland, Anne Lyden, their stunning photography book Desire Lines: A Year of Celtic Saints. Desire Lines is a mesmerising exploration of place, where the landscapes of Scotland, Ireland and England become a canvas for the spiritual journeys of the early Celtic saints. Inspired by ancient stories and traditions, Cooper and Mooney retrace the paths of these pioneers, visiting their birthplaces, sites of devotion and places of passing. The result is a profoundly moving collection of 79 black-and-white photographs accompanied by historical and artistic context.
