Archive Remix: Eri-Ethio Travelling Sounds in Boghall

Join us for Archive Remix: Eri-Ethio Travelling Sounds – a vibrant afternoon of music, storytelling, and cultural exchange, celebrating the contributions and sound cultures of Eritrean and Ethiopian communities living in Scotland.

This special event brings together community voices, archival sound, and live performance in a joyful exploration of heritage, identity, and creativity.

Organised by Artlink as the culmination of a participatory research project led by Nina Baratti, IASH Postdoctoral Fellow, the event is co-curated with members of the Eritrean community in Bathgate, all of whom come from an asylum seeking background, and the Ethio-Scottish community. It reflects months of collaborative engagement with the historic Jean Jenkins archive of Ethiopian and Eritrean music, held at the National Museum of Scotland.
