The Lands of EAFS

The Lands of EAFS brought environmental art into the wilds of South West Scotland, mapping new routes through the Lowther Hills. Through installations, guided walks, and creative expeditions, the festival reimagined landscapes, journeys, and migration, offering fresh perspectives on art and nature.

The Environmental Art Festival Scotland (EAFS) is an international biennial showcasing contemporary art practice within the landscape.

The Lands of EAFS extended from the main festival village site at Morton Castle out into the Lowther Hills in South West Scotland and were mapped for the festival by Andrew McAvoy. Artworks, installations, guided walks, and expeditions invited visitors to venture into the landscape, make new discoveries, and explore alternative routes. One of the festival’s themes, focusing on journeys and migrations, encouraged visitors to experience varied forms of transport—from horse and kayak to foot travel. EAFS shuttle buses transported visitors to different points, fostering new ways of engaging with the Lands.

This is what they found.

EAFS 2015 was created and co-produced by The Stove Network and Wide Open, collaborating with the brilliant Robbie Coleman and the EAFS recharge team, with additional support from Spring Fling.
