At 6:30pm on Friday 1st, there is a film screening event to celebrate the exhibition’s opening – two short films and a panel Q&A conversation with those involved in the exhibition and its themes of coastal regeneration.

‘The Limit’ is a campaign film about restoring the threatened connections between people and the life in our sea. It explores the impacts of drastic declines in Scotland’s fish populations and the hidden damage to our seabed. How can we bring about an urgent and fair transition towards more sustainable fishing?

It will be followed by a Coastal Testimonies short film – interviews of people who live and work on Scotland’s coasts, sharing their connection to, concern, and hope for our seas.
