Tom Pow Exhibition And Residency
Tom Pow will be showing work from his Dying Villages project 16 April – 4 May at Edinburgh’s Scottish Poetry Library, and he will be taking part in an unique residency there 22-24 April. By 2030 it is estimated that Europe will have lost one third of its population. The effect of this demographic change – the greatest since the Black Death – will be felt most acutely in rural areas. In 2007, Tom received a Creative Scotland Award from the Scottish Arts Council for a project aimed at responding in poetry and prose to the social, ecological and cultural effects of demographic changes on villages in Europe. He has made trips to affected areas from Spain to Russia, and the Dying Village website reflects these trips in sound, image, interviews and artworks. http://www.dyingvillages.com
