The Nation//Live is an exhibition at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery from 5 October 2013 to 4 May 2014. It features works of art created during five community outreach projects, which investigate the contemporary relevance of major transformations in Scottish history. Inspired by work from the Portrait Gallery collection, artists led local groups in four locations -- Clydebank, Inverness, Dumfriesshire and Skye -- to explore the impact of themes that define the national narrative.
The centrepiece of the exhibition is a feature-length documentary, directed by Daniel Warren, which tells the story of the project.
