Push the Boat Out is thrilled to be part of the celebrations for Edinburgh’s 900th anniversary. Our Edinburgh 900 programme focuses on our Disrupting the Narrative festival theme. This will offer celebration, discovery and fresh creative perspectives on Edinburgh’s heritage, inclusively telling and adding to its story through a multi-faceted event series. Inspired by a new poetry project created by Hannah Lavery as part of a Museums and Galleries Edinburgh project intended to decolonise Edinburgh’s collections and key heritage sites, Disrupting the Narrative examines how colonial history has shaped the city, its institutions and people.
With several events across the festival you can take part in many ways. Once the festival is finished we’ll also host a recording of our flagship Disrupting the Narrative performance (this will also be livestreamed), and a digital exhibition of the Blue and Salt of the Lies we Believe and associated poems on this dedicated website.
