This exhibition features the work of three emerging Chinese photographers: Ren Hang, Zhang Kechun, and Zhang Jin.

These three young artists were finalists in the 2011 and 2012 editions of the annual Three Shadows Photography Award. While their photographs present widely varied approaches to the medium both in terms of aesthetic and technique, taken together they present a fascinating glimpse into some of the latest trends in contemporary Chinese photography.

Future Histories: Celebrating The Scottish Diaspora was developed during Ajamu's residency at Street Level Photoworks.

The portraits consist of African, Caribbean and people of Black Scottish descent living and working in Scotland. The work forms part of his ongoing artistic and theoretical engagement with photography, cultural heritage, diversity and representation.

The fourth FUTUREPROOF showcases some of the new talent selected from Scottish Fine Art and Photography Degree courses.

The work is selected by Street Level from colleges across Scotland - from Elgin, Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Dumfries, and curatorial recommendations from Cooper Gallery at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, and Stills Gallery, Edinburgh. It takes in a wide range of photography focussed work that characterises a creative core of image making in 2012.

How do you capture someone's spirit? The spirit of a community? Of a culture, a country?

These are just some of the questions that the six photographers who have contributed to this exhibition – all of whom come from refugee backgrounds – have been grappling with in the course of Scottish Refugee Council's Spirit photography project produced in partnership with Street Level Photoworks. The project was born from a desire to tell stories about the refugee experience from the people best qualified to do so – refugees themselves.
