Kirsty Mackay with her parents in their first tenement flat, Glasgow. The view from my mum’s close, looking towards the Clyde, Patrick.

Here and Then by Kirsty Mackay is a photography exhibition about home, connection, class and the lottery of birth.

The photographs in Here and Then come from a searching examination of personal identity. One that intertwines with the identity of place. Personal experience that is closely connected and entangled with the city of Glasgow. It asks – to what extent does place of birth dictate our future?

Recently moved back to Glasgow, Mackay sees her own experience intertwined with the city she grew up in. Here and Then tells a story of nurture over nature, environment over the individual. The photographs are formed from a pursuit to honour, document and reflect working class experience.
