The Faces of Faith exhibition is a showcase of Scotland’s diverse religious and cultural communities.
Freedom of religion and belief is a key part of Scottish society, but few are aware of just how many beliefs are practised here, or of the diversity within each community.
Through the photographs and stories of sixteen people, we explore the joys, challenges, and complexities of living as a person of faith in Scotland, and the impact these communities have on a local, national, and international level.
The common thread weaving through each story became clear to us with every interview. Our many religious communities may be diverse in culture and practice, but our values are intertwined – we all hope for, and are working towards, a better future for Scotland and the world.
This is an exhibition funded by Interfaith Scotland for Scottish Interfaith Week.
