The Evolution of the Blackening
This is a past event
When Sheila started to research the origins of the blackening she discovered it had largely been ignored by academics and was generally, poorly understood. Sheila set out to trace its history, document the form of the contemporary blackening and in so doing, discover what it tells us about men and women as they approach marriage in Scotland today. The blackening is rural, grounded, understated and its story needs to be told.
