Two parts heated eucalyptus oil,

one part crushed garlic,

and a moon-shimmered sky

that yawns,

roaming free.

All that’s to say, much like life, our book is not just about one thing or another, nor is it just about one person or another. Instead, Black Oot Here is made up of both the mess and magic that can be part of living and experiencing life oot here, and oot there.

In Black Oot Here, Francesca Sobande and layla-roxanne hill combine their love of photography and visual culture with their intention to create work that aids the archiving of Black Scottish history.
