The University of Stirling Art Collection curators will introduce the magnificent collection of Scottish contemporary art that’s housed within the university’s modernist Pathfoot building. They will discuss key artworks, new acquisitions, and other collections held. The annual exhibitions and public programme are inspired by a university research theme. Currently this is ‘Human Experience’. Sarah and Emma will explore artistic responses to issues raised in this year’s exhibitions, including climate change, social deprivation and Covid 19.
