Glasgow Mela

The Glasgow Mela Photostory captures the vibrant energy and cultural richness of Scotland's largest free multicultural festival through an intimate lens. As Artist in Residence, I documented not just the performances and celebrations, but the quiet moments of connection and community that make the Mela a unique cultural touchstone. Through a series of carefully composed photographs, the story weaves together the festival's many layers - from traditional performances to contemporary expressions of cultural identity, revealing how the Mela serves as a vital space for cultural celebration and exchange in modern Scotland. These images offer a tender and authentic glimpse into the festival's role in nurturing cross-cultural connections and celebrating Scotland's diverse communities.
