Artist Ayô Akinwándé has gone back in time to provide three living documents which allow people to reflect on Huntly’s history.
Using archives of The Huntly Express, the Nigerian artist has reproduced stories, articles and poems from the local newspaper’s 159-year history. Ayô delved into the archives – which are stored in the Brander Library building – during a short-term commission with Deveron Projects in 2021. The end result is a fascinating insight into the history of the paper and the town since 1863 and produced in the shape of three publications designed and printed in the style of the newspaper.
