Illustrating Edinburgh with Festival City Stories
As the world’s leading festival city, Edinburgh brings together talent from all over the world to its streets and stages with a range of major annual festivals. Renowned for international excellence in art, culture and science, the city’s bustling festival calendar attracts over 4.5 million visitors every year.
JACK ARTS Scotland teamed up with some of Edinburgh’s leading festivals to create Festival City Stories, a series of posters platforming stories from their year-round work with local communities, designed by emerging illustrators from Edinburgh College of Art.
Our accompanying film, ‘Backdrop to the Festival City,’ captures Edinburgh’s ever vibrant streets, following a day to night in August – filmed and edited by Tao-Anas Le Thanh accompanied by Edinburgh Makar Hannah Lavery’s poem ‘Dawn Chorus’ , with a soundtrack by Sarya Wu.
