The exhibition ‘Girls and their Mothers’ by Kim Simpson looks at the complex identity of multiracial individuals, a visually underrepresented group in Scotland. Instead of questioning their ancestry or scrutinizing their appearance, Kim chose to photograph girls and women of mixed heritage and their mothers with an intent on questioning social perception. The images display their relationships, linking these girls and their mothers together while at the same time respecting their disparity.

“Scotland as a country has such strong national iconology, that the idea of what a Scottish person may or may not look like can be pre-programmed.”
