About this Event
Unveiled Exhibition Opening Event
Unveiled is an exhibition by 16 students from Edinburgh Collage of Art (ECA). The group of third year students have spent this academic year engaging with the unique context of Lauriston Castle. Their works respond to the castle's hidden histories and interlaced narratives to reveal what lies beneath the surface of Lauriston Castle. In this centenary year for Lauriston, their works, celebrate, pay tribute and shed new light on the complexities of the castle's history. Their ambitious, multimedia works will be installed throughout the castle and grounds.
Works by: Scarlett Roberts, Autumn Myles, Ruby Hollins, Ava Tumblety, Rose Yao, Hua Tong, Tom Jenkins, Diana Chen, Alula Brooke, Jess Lunt, Caitlin Lloyd, Emily Rose Muncey, Sandy Du, Eleonora Bagrina, Ella McCann Murphy and Lauren Hall

Please note that the exhibition in the Castle can only be viewed by booking onto one of the tours. You will be able to view Ella McCann Murphy's work in front of the Castle during garden opening times. The ‘Memorial for the Witches’ commemorates the 13 accused witches prosecuted by Robert Dalgleish who owned the castle from 1656 till his death in 1662, during which the accused were executed in 1661. The memorial consists of 13 colourful gravestones containing unique iconography and information about the executed, aiming to change the narrative of these individuals and commemorates their lives, sadly lost.
