Broad Theme The chosen writer will engage with Fruitmarket for a year, exploring themes of shared responsibility for, and within, the climate crisis. The environmental focus of their theme, ‘Attached to Land: Mutual accountability within environmental permacrisis’, takes inspiration from Fruitmarket’s wider 2025–2026 programme that includes exhibitions from Jaune Quick-to-See-Smith and Ilana Halperin.
