This summer, Edinburgh Printmakers will showcase two exhibitions as part of the 2025 Edinburgh Art Festival.
Robert Powell: Hall of Hours explores time through Powell’s unique imagery capturing humanity’s complexity, grandeur, and folly in intricate and thought-provoking compositions.
Inspired by medieval Books of Hours, this multimedia exhibition featuring prints, sound installation and animation reflects on how we experience, order and preserve time.
A graduate of Edinburgh College of Art, Robert Powell has exhibited widely at home as well as throughout Europe, North America and the Far East. This is his first solo show for Edinburgh Printmakers.
In conjunction, Aqsa Arif: Raindrops of Rani explores themes of fractured identity, displacement, and cultural synthesis through fantasy and world-building, using elements from South Asian folklore.
This multimedia installation encompassing film, textile screenprints and sculpture is set against the backdrop of the 2006 multi million-pound Sony Bravia television commercial ‘Paint’ which saw 70,000 litres of coloured paint explode in and over her childhood council flat.
Edinburgh Printmakers is wheelchair accessible and has disabled toilets throughout the building. There is a lift for public use which is accessible in front of the main entrance. Assistance dogs are welcome.
Both exhibitions run from 01 August to 02 November 2025. Entry to both is free of charge.
