Girls And Their Mothers

‘Girls and their Mothers' is a collection of photographic portraits featuring girls of mixed race and their mothers who reside in Scotland. This exhibition includes portraits of sixteen different families who live across central Scotland.

The images were created by photographer Kim Simpson who photographed these portraits throughout Spring 2015 in East Kilbride where she resides with her daughter who is also of mixed race.

It has often been assumed that Kim's daughter is not Scottish, and more often that they are not related due to their visual differences.

Kim wanted to explore this societal issue by meeting and photographing people who live in towns and cities across the central belt, and across generations to discover similarities or differences in experiences.
