Calum Colvin & Rab Wilson – Artist & Poet Talk and Performance
Calum Colvin & Rab Wilson – Artist & Poet Talk and Performance
At times witty, controversial and tender, Calum Colvin’s images are presented alongside poems in response by poet Rab Wilson, which equally reflect on the life and aspects of Burns to dwell on who we are, and where we have been, toward what we may become. As Burns reflected the world he inhabited, Burnsiana strives to reflect on a myriad of contemporary concerns.
