Join us for the exhibition preview of Give us a Smile by Kaya Fraser.
Give us a Smile is a moving image installation exploring the everyday ways we memorialise each other’s lives.
The everyday and working class homes as sites of archive, memory, place and identity are reccurring themes in Kaya Fraser’s practice. Working with still and video cameras inherited from her family, she combines a documentary approach with attention to the beauty residing in the everyday.
In her new work for Satellites, Kaya documents the experience of grief and celebrates the role of her mother as family archivist.
Kaya Fraser’s exhibition will run from 10 August - 29 September as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival 2024, and represents the final presentation by the 2023 Satellites cohort including exhibitions by: Matty Rimmer, Rabindranath X Bhose and Thomas Abercromby.
Refreshments will be served and access information about our site can be found here.
