FÀILTE

As the dark nights begin to draw in and autumn descends, festival season stays with us here at An Lanntair as we launch a stunning programme for Faclan 2017: The Hebridean Book Festival. With subjects of landscape and palimpsest running through our exhibitions programme, Faclan takes things one step further this year with its festival theme of ‘Ultima Thule’; a place beyond the borders of the known world. And what a fabulous selection of writers we have – I can’t wait for explorer Doug Scott, with his book, ‘Up and About: The Hard Road to Everest’, and Michelle Paver with her terrific, chilling ghost stories.

There are a few surprising little gems in there too – I would definitely recommend you get along to Jessica Danz’s live piano accompaniment to Iceland, a rare film of Icelandic life in the early 20th Century. We will also be welcoming three incredible and highly acclaimed photographers to our main gallery this September with a new exhibition, Hyperborea: Lands of the North, including Ragner Axelsson, Alex Boyd and Chris Friel

- a not-to-be-missed show. And don’t forget to grab a coffee and sit down with this programme to check out all the fabulous acts performing in An Lanntair this season. I am particularly looking forward to WHYTE - a collaboration between electronic composer Ross Whyte and Gaelic singer/songwriter Alasdair Whyte - and their first ever show here at An Lanntair this November. See you all soonElly Fletcher, Chief Executive

‘Ultima Thule’ – àite a tha thar chrìochan an t-saoghail air a bheil sinn eòlach. Agus abair gu bheil taghadh air leth againn de sgrìobhadairean - tha fadachd orm gus an cluinn mi am fear a bhios a’ dol gu àiteachan iongantach, Doug Scott, ag innse mun leabhar aige, ‘Up and About: The Hard Road to Everest’, agus Michelle Paver leis na sgeulachdan eagallach aice mu thaibhsean.

Faclan: Hebridean Book FestivalWed 25 - Sat 28 October Festival pass £65/£60or individually priced

In medieval geographies, Ultima Thule is a place beyond the borders of the known world. Nowadays, we tell ourselves that there are no such borders, that there is no ‘unknown’ world. Yet we remain possessed by it: the hinterland, the winter land, the empty space beyond the horizon that can only be filled by our imagination. For writers it’s an endless territory to explore, revisit and reinvent. Perhaps ultimately we still need these narratives; we still need somewhere that is off the map.
