Cultural Documents generates opportunities for people to share and develop their ideas through the processes involved in researching, making and presenting contemporary visual art.

Operating from production-locations in coastal west Scotland and rural central Italy, we produce processes which connect micro-local with global contexts in order to reify intangible aspects of society such as of identity, language, place and environment.

To generate sustained dialogues with communities and link locations/places, identities/nationalities and generations/mindsets, we produce events, exhibitions, film-screenings, artists’ residencies, new critical and promotional writing/texts.

We work with a wide range of people through research and production to activate dormant knowledge and produce new Stories and Events which inter-connect disciplines, transcend conventional networks and bring people with common concerns into exchange in new arenas.
