Linder: Danger Came Smiling

Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh exhibition

23rd May 25 - 19th October 25

PAST EVENT: This was part of our 2025 programme.

Linder’s first retrospective in Scotland showcases fifty years of trailblazing artwork. It dives into her fascination with plants and invites us to see beyond traditional ideas about gender and sexuality.

Deliciously satirical, her photomontages remix images from popular culture, ranging from early pin-up photography to house plants. This adapted version of Linder: Danger Came Smiling — a Hayward Gallery Touring Exhibition from Southbank Centre, London — spills out into the Garden.

! Includes depictions of nudity and images of a sexual nature. Recommended for 16+
