Turner Prize-nominated artist Isaac Julien brings his acclaimed film installation Lessons of the Hour – Frederick Douglass (2019) to Perth Museum.

The exhibition explores the time the abolitionist and human rights campaigner Frederick Douglass spent in Scotland, and Perthshire’s connections to the transatlantic slave trade. Perth is the first venue on the tour, and the only place to see the work in Scotland.
