Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF) is running throughout August in its 19th edition, with a new director and many changes in its format. Championing women and queer artists, the programme spans independent venues and local institutions, and encompasses film, sounds, performance, installation and painting, ceramic, tapestry and sculpture across 35 venues throughout the city. While the curatorial approach addresses socio-political issues being tackled at the cutting edge of the art world, these intersect with more traditional exhibitions.
