Taigh Chearsabhagh Museum & Arts Centre
Taigh Chearsabhagh aims to build physical and virtual focal points for exploration, innovation, communication and collaboration, locally and internationally. Through residencies, research, commissions, events and public programmes, Taigh Chearsabhagh will provide unique opportunities for thought, creativity and interaction, creating a Centre of Excellence in Environmental Art. In the Outer Hebrides, more than most communities, we are dependant on our unique environment. Our environmental focus aims to explore the boundaries of art, culture and environment. Taigh Chearsabhagh will provide an arts programme of exhibitions, events and workshops which are popular, yet challenging and inspiring, making art accessible to all and promoting local talent. We will develop themed exhibition programmes featuring a balance of the highest quality in Scottish and international contemporary art and island-based artists and crafts producers.

OUTLAW OCEAN MUSIC PROJECT:
A CROSSOVER BETWEEN MUSIC & JOURNALISM
All music in this project is based on THE OUTLAW OCEAN, a New York Times best-selling book by Ian Urbina that chronicles lawlessness at sea around the world. The reporting touches on a diversity of abuses ranging from illegal and overfishing, arms trafficking at sea, human slavery, gun-running, intentional dumping, murder of stowaways, thievery of ships, and other topics. The music is an act of solidarity across geography and language, and an attempt at storytelling from written word to music. It is a captivating collection of inspired songs. Take your pick: listen to ambient tracks, classical, electronic or hiphop.
