Scotland's Other National Theatre - Pantomime in Scotland This small exhibition features some displays from the Pantomime of Scotland touring exhibition which was curated by researchers from the University of Glasgow with major funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council.

Tour of Pantomime in Scotland Exhibition In this tour of the exhibition Paul Maloney will take visitors on a journey through the history of pantomime in Scotland, from its origins in the harlequinade and the influence of older Scottish popular theatre, to the dynamic impact of Scottish music hall. Exploring the claim that ‘the national theatre of Scotland is pantomime’, the tour will examine panto’s place in Scottish cultural life, from great stars of the twenties and thirties, and the famous pantomimes at the Princess’s and Alhambra Theatres, through recent performers like Stanley Baxter, Rikki Fulton and Jack Milroy, to the pantomime traditions of today. Dr Paul Maloney was Research Fellow on Pantomime in Scotland: ‘Your other national theatre’, a three-year AHRC-funded research project based at Glasgow University from 2007-2010. A cultural historian, he has written extensively on popular theatre and nineteenth- and twentieth-century entertainments, music hall, variety and pantomime.

Focusing on thirty-three of his own photographs, Pieter van der Houwen provides us with a personal account of how his “African” images were often framed to fit an existing European narrative. He is brutally honest about his own culpability; however, he cannot stress enough that this book should not be regarded as an apology. The Complicit Camera should be seen as a personal reflection on his work and how it interacted with the media industry. Pieter van der Houwen does not denounce the social relevance of photography. He does, however, question the impact that photography has on our perception and understanding of the African continent. The Complicit Camera is a ZAM MAGAZINE publication Pieter van der Houwen graduated from the University of Glasgow with an M.Sc. His research focused on the depiction of Africa in Western media. Tawona Sitholé of UNESCO RIELA will lead a discussion about representation with the author.
