Make Yourself at Home
Exploring bothies, huts and isolated rural buildings
In-habit-out is a body of artwork about small, isolated rural buildings; places of shelter where we pause, slow down and reconnect.

The artists will recreate bothy experiences through a female creative lens, using a range of immersive media including installation, printmaking, sculpture, film, and audio.
The project is collaborative and based on experiential research; spending time at huts and bothies, understanding and interpreting stories gleaned from the transient and the more-than-human. It draws on elements of UK hutting culture (historical and contemporary), walkers’ bothies, and other cleared or reclaimed rural buildings.
With whom and what do we share these spaces? What can we learn from pausing there awhile?
