Red Dust Road

14/08/2019 - 21/09/2019

“You are made up from a mixture of myth and gene. You are part fable, part porridge”

From Nairn to Lagos, Red Dust Road takes you on a journey full of heart, humour and deep emotions. Discover how we are shaped by the folk songs we hear as much as by the cells in our bodies.
