Are you an Edinburgh based photographer?
We are inviting submissions for the first collaborative exhibition at Detour Espresso which will feature pieces from different photographers all on the same theme.
For this first collaborative show we are using the theme ‘Detour’ (for obvious reasons!) with the hope being that this is a word that can be approached in a variety of imaginative ways.
Final dates are tbc but we are scheduling the show to begin sometime in early March.
If you’d like to have a piece included please DM for more details! And spread the word!
