Wanderlust
An Exhibition of Analogue Photography & Art Made in New York12-21 June 2026 at Scot-Art
By Mira Knoche
In this exhibition, Mira Knoche presents a selection of hand-developed
black and white photography, bringing together images from her recent
year-long stay in Spanish Harlem (El Barrio), New York, and processing
her journey between NYC and Edinburgh.
Wanderlust (a German Romantic term for the joy of wandering round the
world) also includes a selection of paintings and etchings, created during
her studies at the New York Academy of Art, often with a focus on
women’s transgressive kinship. At a time of accelerated global tension,
the show aims for a slowed down way of looking and for people of
different cultures connecting.
Mira Knoche (b.1984 in Germany) is an Edinburgh based Artist. She
graduated from the Glasgow School of Art (BFA in Painting & Printmaking)
and studied at the New York Academy of Art (MFA in Painting, Sculpture
and Printmaking programme) as a Fulbright scholar in 2024-25. She
currently has a project space at the Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.
Edinburgh Strength Collective, alongside Strong4All, is launching Base Camp, a free strength and fitness course for young people, intending on running a pilot during the Easter Holidays 2026.
The course introduces the basics of strength training in a safe, supportive environment. It will be led by a qualified children’s coach, and supported by experienced strength coaches. We hope to provide two sessions per week over two weeks, for a total of up to four sessions, each lasting around 1.5–2 hours.
The main goals of Base Camp are to:
The course is free to attend and suitable for beginners. No previous gym or strength training experience is needed.

On the 1st of November, the annual Oil and Gas Chaplaincy Remembrance Service will be taking place in the Kirk of St Nicholas.
The event is open to everyone. You are warmly invited to honour those who have lost their lives offshore in Aberdeen. The service includes the opportunity to look through the book of remembrance, candle lighting and musical accompaniments by Bon Accord Silver Band, Paul Anderson, Scottish fiddler and Ben Hall, a lone piper. The morning has been widely attended in the past, by many people with personal connections to the industry, including Angie who lost her father in an accident when he was working out in the North Sea. It has been 50 years since she lost her dad, and after coming across information about the service back in 2024, she got in contact with the chaplaincy, who proceeded to have her dad’s name added to the book.
The book of remembrance holds great importance to families of those who lost their lives, as it provides reassurance that their loved one has been remembered and the work they did matters still today.
Angie then attended the service that same year and said, “I knew for the first time in my life I was not alone”.
The ceremony brings together families, workers in the industry and key figures in Aberdeen, to provide support, reassurance, and shared experience.
You can hear Angie’s story about her dad Richard Dailey, through the link below.

You are invited to attend the service on the 1st of November at 11am at the Kirk of St Nicholas on Union Street in Aberdeen.
