The Scottish Project 

In May 2017 Isla Munro, designer and tutor, signed up to be one of the 900+ participants in Emma Rogan's New Zealand 100 Days Project.  

The Edinburgh 100 Days show was held on day 103, in the University of Edinburgh's TENT Gallery, and was the most northerly show.  Isla and 21 other participants celebrated their 100 days of creative effort for a short exhibition. 

With Emma Rogan's blessing, Isla ran a Scottish led version of the project in the hope that local sponsors and participants can get more involved (with none of the time zone issues making us all feel a day behind!) On May 14th 2018 the 100 Days Project Scotland began, and culminated in the ‘Day 100’ show in September 2018. In 2019 we started the project on May Day, and launched the show on the 25th September in the Fire Station at ECA. The change of venue was ideal, as we were able to display the collections of work from almost 60 participants.

In 2020 we are faced with an unprecedented social challenge, and we will need to think about how we celebrate the process, and come together as a community. Should we still be engaged in social distancing I am sure we can explore some amazing online tools, and still be able to celebrate and share our experiences…I have got over 100 days to plan it after all!
