Derek Besant, BFA’73, and 1999 Distinguished Alumni Award winner, will be mounting a major exhibition and public art project as a feature of The Edinburgh Art Festival 2015 in Scotland. Besant’s intent is to set up photo shoots of people who live in Edinburgh and interview them on their views of memory and resemblance as the narrative theme.
