UNBOXED in Scotland

The six projects taking place in Scotland offer an exciting and unique opportunity for audiences, participants, communities and visitors to experience ground-breaking creative programmes designed to question, provoke, delight and intrigue, while showcasing the incredible creative talents of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Maths) practitioners across Scotland and the UK.

Dandelion is an innovative new initiative inviting people all over the Scotland to get growing, sharing and celebrating food, music, and ideas, in and with their communities. It will demonstrate the power of collective action in a Scotland-wide ‘grow your own’ initiative. Rooted in Scotland, with an international outlook and sustainability at its heart, the Dandelion programme follows the arc of the growing season, from April to September 2022, and will culminate in hundreds of Harvest gatherings across Scotland – reimagining the cultural celebration of harvest for the 21st century, led by the next generations of producers, musicians and growers.

Beyond Dandelion, Scotland will also host five other projects presented as part of UNBOXED. These are: About Us (Paisley); StoryTrails (Dundee and Dumfries); Dreamachine (Edinburgh); Green Space, Dark Skies (across National Parks and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including Scotland).
