About this event

Arts • Fine Art

Join this guided tour of Linder: Danger Came Smiling, led by a member of the Botanics' Creative Programmes team. Walk around the exhibiton, go behind the scenes and chat about all you've seen whilst sampling a cup of herbal tea.

Explore Linder's first retrospective in Scotland, showcasing 50 years of trailblazing artwork. It dives into her fascination with plants and invites us to see beyond traditional ideas about gender and sexuality.

Deliciously satirical, her photomontages remix images from popular culture, ranging from early pin-up photography to house plants.
