I went to two exhibitions this week. One was by a friend from church who is a professional artist - details of the exhibition are here and a Sunday Herald interview about the most controversial piece in the exhibition (actually my least favourite of the paintings) is here. The exhibition is only on till Sunday, but if you're around it's worth a look. I was glad to see some of the paintings had sold - some of them are really lovely. Sadly they are way out of my price range, so I had to make do spending a couple of quid on a Danish pastry.
The other one was a small exhibition of photographs by Amnesty International. It was very moving - to be honest it was nothing new, as I've been following the anti-LGBT stuff in the Moldovan and Romanian media this year, and I had seen some coverage of the Riga march. It just breaks my heart that many of the protesters (whose faces were twisted with hatred) were identified as Christians. Jesus wept.
The exhibition is on till 10th December, at the Q! Gallery on Saltmarket. Again, do go to see it if you get the chance.
