As heritage passes from one era to a different, it transforms and reshapes itself to suit inside a up to date milieu. For Nuart Aberdeen 2024, organizers embraced the dynamic nature of tradition and traditions and invited 11 artists to replicate on the idea.

“Living Heritage” was the theme of this 12 months’s road artwork competition, which “incorporates the parts of our shared past that live in the present—everyday rituals and practices, cultural expressions, celebrations, festivals, stories, songs, and craft that help to define who we are,” says director and curator Martyn Reed. “These don’t have to be as old as time. This is heritage that lives in the present.”

Included have been artists like Millo, who painted his signature black-and-white scene punctuated by brown images evoking his personal experiences and the town’s historical past. Hera equally references native tradition as she locations a unicorn, Scotland’s nationwide animal, within the arms of a doe-eyed determine.

Joined by the area people, Bahia Shehab created a daring and well timed mural with a stanza from a poem by Palestinian author Mahmoud Darwish. The textual content reads, “You are forgotten, as if you never existed,” in opposition to a backdrop evoking a watermelon, a Palestinian image of resistance.
