How do you capture someone's spirit? The spirit of a community? Of a culture, a country?

These are just some of the questions that the six photographers who have contributed to this exhibition – all of whom come from refugee backgrounds – have been grappling with in the course of Scottish Refugee Council's Spirit photography project produced in partnership with Street Level Photoworks. The project was born from a desire to tell stories about the refugee experience from the people best qualified to do so – refugees themselves.

Over the course of three months, the group worked with Street Level to create an exhibition for Refugee Week Scotland, which this year takes 'Spirit' as its theme, spending time photographing refugees and their communities across Glasgow. Here they found Spirit in all its guises.
