Exhibition: Lothians Speak Their Name


(Fri 2-Sat 30 Nov)

Lothians Speak Their Name is a project which was set up to create a quilt in memory of people who have died by suicide in Edinburgh and the Lothians. 49 people have made squares in memory of their loved ones, which hold the stories of their loves and lives.

As well as creating this beautiful memorial, the project has brought people together as a community, where they've found support and friendship. In 2023, 792 people died by suicide in Scotland. 590 of them were men. The hope is that the quilt and the individuals and lives it remembers will inspire viewers to start conversations about mental health and suicide and to reach out if they themselves are struggling.

As part of its region-wide tour, the quilt will be at the SSC from 2-30 November 2024.
