AHM trip to National Galleries

On Friday 18th March the AHM team traveled to Edinburgh for a visit to the National Galleries where the next AHM symposium will take place. We met with Helen Monaghan who is assisting with our event and being a wonderful help. We met the technician, Ross, who reassured us on all things to do with sounds and lights, and agreed on final arrangements.

AHM also met with their good friends Doug Wright and Anne Saunders (based in Sydney) who are currently on a residency at The Steeple, Fife. Doug will be presenting one of the manifestos at the symposium.
