Publisher's Synopsis
On the 29th of January 2020, as the United Kingdom departed the European Union (EU) and as a final gesture of farewell, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) took to their feet in Brussels, held hands and sang Robert Burns' Auld Lang Syne - a song which has come to represent solidarity, friendship and open doors. The following week, Nigerian artist Emeka Ogboh stood in the Robert Burns Monument in Edinburgh and conceived Song of the Union, a sound installation featuring singers from all 27 EU member states living in Scotland. This illustrated catalogue documents Ogboh's emotionally rousing work.
