A talk by Birnam Arts’ Curator Helen Reid and Photographer Jo Foo about the ‘Beyond Expectations’ exhibition and wider project. ‘Beyond Expectations’ exhibition presents Jo Foo’s latest body of work which documents breastfeeding/chestfeeding mothers who have nursed their children for longer than they thought they could, thus exploring society’s relationship with the female body, the role of contemporary motherhood and the politics of breastfeeding. This project is in association with Breast Buddies Breastfeeding Support Service (Run by Home-Start Perth & Kinross).
Jo Foo is a scientist, photographer and a mother of two young children. She has a passion for thought-provoking, mission driven projects. She loves using the art of visual storytelling to find ways to raise awareness of areas of social injustice and also connect people with nature.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.

Welcome to Birnam Arts, a boutique multi-purpose arts, conferencing and entertainment venue.
Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
Perthshire is so lucky to benefit from such an amazing community, arts and performance venue. I have so many great memories of attending various performances and parties at Birnam Arts! Hoping to attend many more to come! Birnam Arts has a place in many peoples hearts and is an essential community resource.

Great exhibition and performance spaces. Lovely terrace and indoor seating with lots of light. Great food and drinks and even a garden next-door for a stroll afterwards. Like
