Liminal Exhibition

In response to this year’s Cupar Arts Festival ‘liminal’ theme, CAF artist curators and invited guests have created an intriguing exhibition of drawings and prints reflecting liminality in all its aspects. Defined as a occupying a position at a threshold, or relating to the transitional or initial stage of a process, the theme allows for a variety of responses and interpretations – perhaps involving changing states in the natural world, transitions in the role of a historic site, personal transformation, or anthropological ideas of ritual and myth.
